we're tryin' to do all of our original stuff.

Everything you've heard is the stuff that we've been doin' for years.

For those of you who don't know, we've been around since 2003, the first incarnation of The Vehicle, and we've had to change tires, engines, motors, transmissions, windshield, seats, windshield wiper blades, seat buckles, body panels, most of the exhaust, and the emergency brake, but we're still here.

[audience applauding and cheering] "Hindsight's 20/20."

And we can all say hindsight's 20/20.
