Well, lets think about that..

You have the SMOTY car.. how many past SMOTY cars ever get driven, driven hard?

He ran the car at the Air Ride Putnam raceway challenge and (i think) ran the second fastest time of the day. He drove the car on a good part of the Power Tour and when he has broken the car it was because they were beating the crap out of it.

I am also pretty sure the car has been over 180mph (I seem to remember reading that somewhere).

So while it hasn't knocked down any crazy 1/4 mile times it has seen the track, seen the street and been beat on. That's more than 99% of the other high-end "show cars" I've seen. For that I give Johnson props.

I just hopes he makes it to Maxton before the auction.
