Our loss. If you have a teacher tell you your child seems to be unable or unwilling to "keep up", find out why the child feels this way. You may have a chance to help them find their way.

Just follow it for two miles and it will run out of gas. Top end it runs out in 9 minutes. Which is good, because the tires will fail in 15. In 9 minutes at top speed it will cover 39 miles.
