I will extort this golf cart like a hooker on broadway ! Bidding war as to who gets it in their booth at the big RV trade show? SEMA , all magazines. I will put my college degree in marketing to work ! I have had to slow people and companies down that want to be involved with the total comprehensive plan for this CHARACTER !!

If I lived closer I’d borrow / rent it for shows.. lol. I am sure in your industry you will have people lined up to use this thing for rv shows!!

All the sides with the beeded/corrugated siding, is that material you had in the shop or did you hand do all of that, how did you make the grille?

Had a great time at the dunes/beach . The Mini.bago was a hit , and it was kinda hard to keep the kids out of the thing ! Going to finish up some more items and get it ready for the Pacific Northwest Nationals Goodguys show this weekend ! Should be quite the hit up there ! PS i still laugh every time I look at the thing

Better yet, you should hire a small camera crew and shoot a pilot of your everyday life fabricating things around the shop, hire an agent and shop it around. "On this episode of NorthWest Coach" etc..

I wish that as well. , me trying to sell COOL stuff to hunters and fishers has not worked so well over the last 30 years. There was a time in 1996 I was headed to Havasu to open a concierge boat storage facility that would store, fuel up, grocery up your boat and have it ready for pickup. Had the money and a great partner who had his share of the money and as we were getting all our ducks lined up I won a custody battle with my kids to keep my x from moving them out of state only problem was neither could I. Not unhappy how my life has turned out but I am not a hunter / fisher I dont belong here. Also of note because of all my talk about this desert oasis some of my people went and checked it out and never came back Brian and Heather Macy are some of those people.

Good Lord, you never disappoint! I would start a Youtube channel, I think it would take off in an instant without all the BS of Hollywood.

Thanks again Travmon for making my afternoon a little better!

I hear you in that I put my adult life on hold for several reasons. Stuck in Hawaii for most of it. Yeah I know…..wow so sad to be stuck in Hawaii of all places. Let‘s just say that a few things have happened to make me realize that life can bs short. We got out and made changes and have been having a blast for a couple of years now. You do incredible work and I hav enjoyed seeing everything that you have posted. We now split time between Havasu fun and Hawaii work. You have the skills you just have to get a little creative. You got this man!!!!!!

You might think about installing a jalousie window in the rear opening. They were standard equipment on early RVs.

So this weekend is Goodguys puyallup and what is different about this event versus all of their other events is nighttime cruising through the fairgrounds and the back parking lot while the bands play. The back parking lot becomes party central well into the late evening. I am going for outrageous costumes for the mini.bago to swap into like a runway model. Once again I was up until 2 am ordering funny shit on amazon .. Ricky Bobby can you hear me ??
