Just the idea that they worked on it is awesome in itself.
It sure would be amazing to have snatched one up.

I just didn't want to see some kind of mass movement by six lovers to search the junkyards of the world looking for the vehicles built with crossflow heads. Folks are still searching for the Holy Grail and the Lost Dutchman mine. I'd hate to see another reality TV show spring up with Gomer-And-Friends seeking the elusive crossflow.
