When I lived in Bemidji car companies test drove vehicles every winter.  The year prior to the new Beetle's release they test drove four or five for several months and they always traveled in a pack.  The car company logo was blocked out in some lame attempt at secrecy.  Duluth does make sense as a place to put a new car through some extreme in-town driving conditions.

yes but will they ruin x-mas like patty duke did in the made for tv movie about her life? nobody can toss a turkey like patty duke!

I was once in Leif Erickson Park in the summer of 2000. We saw a delorean, a red one. Then everyone got up to look and there were 8 in a row. One was even in the back to the future style.
