You're kidding that wouldn't drive it for 50K?
I would, right into a wall. It would be an instant improvement in the looks of that thing.
I'd clean my cat's litter box first so I wouldn't throw up while driving it.

Re: Just One Time

Hello Everyone
Seven year old daughter says "cool play house".
Well; it is a thought, I will offer $300.00 USD for it. LOL.
She wants it painted PINK of course.

It would be so cool to pick here up at the Jr. High in the stretch mobile

And of course parking in a very noticible place - maybe even a shirt that said Kristi's Dad on the front

Maybe I'm just crazy but using a port-a-potty is like christmas shopping, I want to get everything done as quick as possible while not looking what is on the shelves or in this case down the hole.

Oh I agree with you 100% with that. But there are times that an unavoidable glance down the hole happens if you have to open the lid.

Well, the thing really is for real. Just caught the end of a program about extreme RV's on the "Travel" channel yesterday, and guess what they showed cruising along? Yep! That very creature And they showed it taking a corner. It kind of looked liked the rear steering is self steering, it just does it's own thing as you go around a corner.
And yes, it still looked stupid

I was flipping through the channels and saw it at the end of the show. I thought "Maui Wowie" must be REALLY good stuff. :p
