Chuck's got those infamous keys dangling in his hand again.   We haven't seen those keys since Dan Avila, Melissa Skirboll, and Curtis Warren passed them up last November.  When Dan Avila's team had those keys to tempt them, the car had $25,000 in the trunk.  This time, the Jaguar XK8 has $75,000 in the trunk - making the whole deal worth $150,000!  They get to decide individually whether to go on - and they lock in their decisions after MUCH thought.

Is Lisa going on or is she driving home?  She's driving home!
Does John truly feel the ultimate need for Greed or the need for speed?  He's got the need for speed, and we're done!

But we have to know...
