In November, mikedashg had a respectable 28 votes, but still finished last.

Alright, I'll play. I've got the mismatched thing going on. Doors, fenders, and clip are all actually new. So this is the second "body" technically. It looks way straighter then it really is in the pics. Most pics are from the "good side." Other side is pretty wrinkled from Johnson Valley rock rash. Plus I got a list of about 100 things I need to fix. The stearing column is about to fall off, the brakes are plumbed backwards, and I only have 3 brakes at the moment (ripped one on the trail recently). The thing makes all sorts of bad noises, everything leaks, lots of bent broken parts just barely hanging on. Front bumper is a little tweaked, the front clip is hanging on by bungies. No headliner. Bent currie steering. Lots of duct tape, zip ties, and spray paint accents. Currently running old style MTRs up front, Kevlar MTRs in back. Full spec list coming soon! Oh, and I drove it to work this morning.

Don't have any more recent pics of me on the trail because it's too beat up at the moment .

 

[Bryan C.]

Ha, well I tried to start a poll, but the limit is 13 choices per poll. There are 14 rigs. Hopefully the poll will be added to this thread soon. For now, the thread will open for comments.

 

[DrMoab]

None of them are worthy. I've voting for Abstain.

 

[Bryan C.]

None of them are worthy. I've voting for Abstain.

Abstain got bounced in favor of "Present."


So I got a PM saying one of the guys sold his rig and is no longer a member. I also noticed one of the other guys is no longer a red letter name as well. Sounds to me like we eliminated 2 people, now the poll can open. :gee:

 

[Bryan C.]

Time to vote!

Time to vote!

 

[Bryan C.]

Poll is open
