Morty...
Can't imagine how you racked up so many miles...lets see if I got the math right on this. Push car backwards from trailer to tent = "X" miles.....push car forwards from tent to trailer = "Y" miles.

(X)+(Y)+(p)(W)= total miles

Where "W" = distance from tent to ice cream stand back to tent
"p" = number of trips

Assumption: Path to and from trailer is the same

Given: 1) tent and trailer are always in the same paddock
2) ice cream stand is always in paddock
3) largest trace paddock (Elkhart 4 miles)
4) total miles = 110 miles

Solve for "p"........allowing for round off error that's 27 trips in 1.5 years....or 18 trips per year. You and Pedro gotta start walking at least some of the time....the ole car will be worn out before you know it.

Good thing about the future MkII....more aero....easier to push
