:p Those things have radical oversteer as I recall....
Yeah, and a rougher ride than the VX. ;) heheh
do you think they make a lift for it!? :_drool:
I look at that and can only IMAGINE the number of class-action lawsuits that would occur today. "Oh, Little Billy lost and arm!" "Oh, Little Billy lost both eyes!" "Oh, Little Billy was horribly crushed by that meth-fueled truck driver, and will forever be a quadraplegic!"
Sometimes I long for the more innocent times...
I'm slammin' mineQuote:

About 30 years ago, I was working in the paint shop at a RV facility in Montgomeryville Pa., and a salesman comes in, pushing the fabulous "Rainbow" vacuum cleaner. His demonstration was impressive to say the least...he did dozens of things with this machine...including spray paint, but best of all, he gave big 'ol fat Klaus Haagen a "flying saucer"ride round the shop on it.
