8-Foot Gator in a Cabrio!

In this case, two. The driver is GtrMINI. His passenger is Albert the Alligator, 8-feet tall and of the inflatable variety. We motored up to Gainesville today for the Gators' big National Championship celebration and GtrMINi was the talk of the town as he toured the campus in his Cool Blue S Cabrio with Albert onboard.

Thanks! I was at the '96 celebration too. Took my son and he was only 3 then. So it was cool for him to go again.

And here is the video version:

At about 20 mph Albert gets unweildy so GtrMINI says doesn't think he will be driving the Dragon. He may make an appearance at some point at MOTD though.

Note the wind makes his arm wave.
