Race to Stockton / Joshua's Alfa Romeo II

I want to travel as fast as possible from Round Rock, TX to a cache within 10 miles of zip code 95219, Stockton, CA. I am in a race with another travel bug car to reach this goal. My goal is to be the first car to reach Stockton, CA and be retrieved by my co-owner, Joshua. I also want to meet many people and visit interesting places along the way. I want to travel to as many states as possible and cover as much distance as possible, and still reach my destination first. Please post photos of my drivers and pit crews, and people I meet along the way; and please post pictures of the places I visit. Joshua would like to see where I have been and who I have met. This is the back up car for the original car. The first car, launched in September 2005, has not been seen since it was last retrieved in March 2006 after traveling less than 30 miles. Please help me make up for lost time and move me quickly to California.

I am a wooden toy race car from the Towe Auto Museum in Sacramento, CA (http://www.toweautomuseum.org) where my owner is a volunteer docent. I was released in Round Rock, TX by the owner's grandchildren in a race to be retrieved by their cousins in Stockton, CA. Each car has a grandchild "co-owner" who will be tracking the car's progress and adventures. This is the back up car for Joshua's original car that is now in the garage after crashing at the "Sunset Valley Treasure Chest" cache, less than 30 miles from the race start. That car has not been seen since March 2006. There are several ways a car can be a winner in this race: 1. The first car to be placed in a cache within 10 miles of zip code 95209. 2. The first car to be retrieved by one of the grandchildren. 3. The car that traveled the most distance on its trip from Round Rock, TX to Stockton, CA. 4. The car that traveled to the most states and countries. 5. The car that was placed in the most caches before reaching its goal. 6. The car that spends the least time in pit stops (caches).
