Okay guys, google is offering $20million to the first private team to send a rover to the moon, travel 500 meters and transmit video. If we could just get a 4runner up there.

a "Rover"? I'd say it should be a Toyota, none of that british crap . . .
I nominate BruceTS's 4runner . . . we could all chip in for a bunch of model rocket engines, put some solid rubber tires on and strap an oxygen tank to the intake so the engine runs

BTW - I think this was on ebay earlier this year, those are dual GE T-58 turbines in a '91 MR2

Well maybe regular little model rocket motors wont lift a runner. But I'll just get my kid brother to make a couple dozen more of these, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_H8Nn2AJ_oQ That should at least break gravity.
