Re: Saw This One Yesterday!

Chevyrado, I'm with you. I'd deliberately (and unnecessarily) go to the store to get only a pack of smokes or something like that. Gas mileage can't be a concern when your vehicle is 30+ feet long and has a BBC under the hood.

I would just live inside that thing... fading green with patches of rust works for me.

Re: Saw This One Yesterday!

I wonder if it makes those "Crew Cabs" feel a little insecure?

Reminds me of when I was about 11. I bought a old schwinn tandem bike at the flea market for $15 bux. I used to ride it everywhere with just me on it and I thought I was awesome. lol. I still got that bike somewhere lol.

Sure thing...have you seen how much they charge for the tacky light tour???



I saw a nice looking older limo for 3K on craigslist the other day that needed a new engine but the interior was really nice....got me thinking about how fast I could make that up and be in the profit....


But too many ideas and not enough time in the day for me

Re: Saw This One Yesterday!

Have I seen the charges?? Heck, I've paid them!!! An old limo would be a money pit that no one wanted to hire but something like this? Slicked up it could be one hella party wagon!

Re: Saw This One Yesterday!

And to think I was "commenting" on the turning radius of my dually...

There was one of these up for sale about a year ago. Some one posted the add... It wasn't in near this shape but it was the same green and every thing

Its a wonder they did it on half ton running gear...

IMO it needs a dully conversion JUST for good measure
