Post by VinceAtReal4x4s »

There are less than 500 of these left on earth. What was there should be in collectors' hands or a museum.

Calm down Indy, :D

If the alternative is that it could have been rusting in a field somewhere is a bad paint job so bad?

Nah, I think my post/reaction is just right. Read up, that isn't a paint job, the entire, very rare, not-replaceable, one of less than 500 (probably more like 300) antique 4x4 was completely butchered/gutted in the name of light-duty corporate advertising, and likely won't even be in service for more than a few years. Pure waste.

And these aren't generally left in a field to rot, not anymore anyway. A nice original can go for more than $20k. Highly sought after.

I was paid for this http://s400.photobucket.com/albums/pp88 ... MG3093.jpg
and the vehicle is still good to go.

Many companies spare no expense to put their name on a stadium, street or some vehicle. Not always a good idea.
Just wrap it in that plastic wrap that comes off and leave the vehicle intact. I see no great joy in going to a stadium
just because it bears the name of some company...and, 'Maple Street' is a fine name for a place in Anytown, USA.

Yeah, paint can be changed. Good thing it didn't have an Blazer frame put under it along with a 350 motor "upgrade".

Never seen one, but my impression is that Red Bull pretty much rendered their Pinzies somewhat useless after all the "comfort and commercial" mods. Heavy, slow and gawdy...... :x

Red bull should stick to "blinging" up Hummers. Get more " Rad ride brah! " and less " Why?" .
