[meteorite-list] Attendees at Tucson Show

[Raremeteorites]

Teslas, which are soon to be built right here in Nevada, are extremely nice 
city cars but you will need a $160,000.00 Jeep American Expedition Vehicles 
(AEV) Rubicon Brute or a Jeep Special Operations (SPLOPS) Rubicon to hang 
with the big boys in field :)

What does a Tesla have to do with a trade show for Gems and Minerals other 
than not burning any "fossil" fuel?  I wouldn't park my 65 Cobra 427 SC 
which gets between 4 to 8 miles per gallon anywhere near Tucson for fear 
that somebody might steal an irreplaceable piece of chrome or emblem from 
it.

Good luck with the show and I will enjoy the Superbowl,  And this Spring, I 
have a gut feeling that some lucky meteorite hunter is going to find the 
first North American lunar meteorite on a private ranch which can only be 
reached by a dirty and muddy road.

Good grief. Why worry about it? You aren't here.
I drive a $130,000 tesla, and I got parking and even made it through the 
mud! I wouldn't subject it to any bad parking conditions.
You would think by your post that somehow Tucson has become The Congo. Just 
play on eBay and leave Tucson to the dealers:)
