Rock Buggy

[h2co-pilot]

Okay, I want a Rock Buggy. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif I saw one at Paragon and I want one bad. Not that I dislike the H2 in anyway, I just want something with more articulation (thanks for the lingo PhilD), proper mods, and a roll cage. Something I won't feel bad about knocking around and scratching etc..Does anyone have experience with one?

LOL..but I would probably keep the Red Thunder. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

I agree with the street legal with mods for learning.

Can't I hire a little man for the mechanical stuff? Or would that be posing if I drive and don't get all butched up with grease and tools?

What vehicle- a CJ?

Seth, you can stop right there. This thread needs to die a FAST death. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

[h2co-pilot]

Let us say there isn't a budget. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_razz.gif I have eyelashes to bat, just how many times would be the question. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

I want an old CJ for the first one (learning). I won't drive it but off-road, I wouldn't be caught dead in a Jeep in public. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif That's worse than the minivan. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[PARAGON]

No budget? Jeep? Hmmmm........ Rock Buggy, right? I think I have it.

Must have a lot of contraptions for the wheel control. What is that?

Probably a little more than eyelash batting for that huh?

Just kidding, Ken. You too hone.........hmph!!!!!

[h2co-pilot]

Yeah, I don't want to buy something and see it through the process of mods because I might feel bad about hurting it. Fuel injection sounds good even though I am clueless about that stuff. I will check the bay and see what's avail. Some guys at Paragon sell them regularly too. Thanks S. ~S

Ok, it was a joke. As in my head falling on the "b" key after my wife hit me. Someone coulda just asked me to edit it and I would've. You didn't have to bother Jason with it. Geesh.

[PARAGON]

Well, you should not be looking at it so esoterically. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

Like the one on the right? That's my buddy's new 400 hp competition rock buggy.

[DRTYFN]

Now that's articulation.

[h2co-pilot]

That's BAD ASS!!!! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gif http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gif http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gif http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gif


Hold on a minute...Mmmmmm..yeah..ahhhhhh!http://instagiber.net/smiliesdotcom/contrib/owen/smoke.gif

That's what momma wants - eventually. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[h2co-pilot]

Paragon, I'm glad your alright! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

I got the joke but didn't know you meant your wife was hitting you. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif I thought something happened. I was going to pm you this morning to check but I saw your post on the "pic of the month" thread this a.m. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[PARAGON]

Sorry, it was a weak attempt at a humorous follow up to Klaus' comment about my wife reading over my shoulder.......oh well.

If you really cared, you woulda called. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_razz.gif

[h2co-pilot]

No, now that I think of it- it was pretty hilarious. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

If I asked for your phone number and called:

A. Kenny would have thought I was trying to give you a bunch of "B's" for the concept buggy.

B. You would have thought the same thing.

C. Your wife would have really hit you if she got the wrong impression.

Where's the link to that Rhino truck or whatever it was called? It was on SpikeTV Extreme 4x4 a few weeks ago.

Let's see... First your wife reads your posts and clobbers you. Then the phone rings, your wife answers it, and it's a female on the other end asking for you.

No need for an ambulance... They'll be calling a slow moving vehicle for you! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_razz.gif

I tried calling you, but no answer.

[PARAGON]

I'm down at the ranch. You coulda tried voice mail. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

[h2co-pilot]

Thanks Phil, I appreciate the links. Saw some kewl stuff. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gif

I think if I really built it I would feel bad driving it hard and may try to make it pretty. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[Dug]

How about one of these off road bikes.
cons- no suspension, smokey, loud.
Pros- vibrates, shakes, vibrates more.

[h2co-pilot]

Those are actually pretty cool. That's a Rokon right? http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gif I have had a blast on dirt bikes and atv's up in PA, didn't mind the smoke and noise- the coal dust gave me a nice coating though.

The pro's sound really good ( http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif), but I'm kinda looking at the Rhino right now and maybe not even. There aren't many places to wheel around here. So now I'm reconsidering what toys to get.

[Dug]

Yes, thats a rokon, I'm impressed most guys dont know what it is. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif
Well, hope ya find something to fun to buy . Maybe a H3?

[tower]

I'll take a mo (snowmobile) over any of that stuff. Except maybe a gal covered in coal dust. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

[Dug]

Tower , this is a mini snowmobile that I am thinking of reproducing . This is a pic of it on ebay. I just picked it up.

[Dug]

Oh ya, heres the pic.

[h2co-pilot]

That's pretty cool. Give it some shocks, make it a little lighter........ http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gif

[Dug]

Good thinkin, maybe a shock under the seat.
Wow! smart & smokin need a job?

[h2co-pilot]

Thanks Dugeth!http://instagiber.net/smiliesdotcom/contrib/lynx/pinkpleased.gif

It looks very sweet. I do think you may need a powerplant with a little more displacement for cliff jumping. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif
