"A dune buggy is a recreational vehicle with big wheels and tires designed for use
on sand dunes or beaches, especially a light vehicle with a modified engine mounted on an open chassis. Also called beach
buggy or a sand rail.
Dune buggies are created using two different methods. The first involves alteration of an existing vehicle, most notable the
older Volkswagen Type One (Beetle, or Bug). The VW Bug was preferred for a variety of reasons.
Most notable are that the rear
mounted engine and removal of bodywork transfers a high proportion of the remaining weight to the rear drive wheels for extra
traction, the engine is air cooled simplifying engine modification and the elimination of the radiator as a source of engine failure,
the extremely cheap price, and the sizable quantity of spare parts from other VW Bugs and buses. This is a likely candidate for
where the term "buggy" originated.
The second method involves construction of a vehicle frame from steel tubing bent and welded together.
The advantage of this method is the fabricator can change various fundamental parts of the vehicle (usually the
suspension and a built-in roll cage).
However, the cost is the extra time taken. Buggies of this type are called sandrail
because of the rail frame. Rails, like the VW bug typically have the engine located behind the driver and engine sizes
vary depending on the intended function (see below). Sizes can vary from a one seat ATV sized go-cart to a 4 seat, 8+
cylinder sized vehicle. Sandrails can have panels or custom shaped body coverings over the rails and tubing that compose
the vehicle, though many are left bare.
Some dune buggies represent mixes of the two design philosophies above. This is typical when a converted vehicle sustains
damage from age, hard use, or accidents and spare parts are not available or affordable."

I am writing to you in behalf of your Heavenly Father. He is seeking you like a lost sheep. You remember
the Bible story? It is about a shepherd who has 100 sheep. But when he brings the sheep home one night, one is missing.
He then leaves the 99 sheep and goes out into the wilderness until he finds that lost sheep.
In this parable the shepherd goes out to search for the one lost sheep-the very least that can be numbered.
So if there had been but one lost soul, Christ would have died for that one.
