Hmmm, that's a really good question! I would naturally assume car 5 since, at least it seems to me on STT, we are a very car oriented island.

Outlaw,

I too would guess car 5. Walking here can be risky so few folks do, thus my vote for car. Another possible hint, at least for the many parts of St. Thomas that are steep, walking times would be quoted shorter on the downhill than on the way back up -- I can walk to Magen's Bay Beach in fifteen minutes any day but on a sunny summmer day it can take me almost twice as long to walk home!
