Speed- Another Irritated Customer

[spark2678]

Not a hater but man I’ve seen quite a few for sale lately. This guy seems to hit the nail on the head.

 

[HALLETT BOY]

To be fair , he didn’t purchase a Toyota Camry , these cars are like custom West Coast boats , they will have teething issues . I still think it’s really cool to be in on the ground floor from concept to actual running car .

Was that a Robbie Gordon tattoo?

 

[Havasu blue label]

People are dancing when there cars are ready for pickup

 

[82daytona]

And he financed it

Jesus fuck

These are 3 digit VIN machines from a start up company. If your delusional ass thought they were going to show up without flaws you need to realize you don’t have the kind of $ you think you do!

Think of buying a 2003 6.0 Ford….. guess what fucker, you bought the first headache.

 

[Sharky]

Waaaaaaaa!

Some baller complains he is on a schedule and has to fly back to Porto-Rico next week.

Cry me a river Biff.

Coulda bought a new Polaris with a stop ride 2 weeks after you bought it.

Shit happens. Suck it up princess. Like the rest of us do without going on social media to wet your diaper.

 

[SJP]

The pro Rs are really nice and turn key. What kind of cracks me up about this whole thing is there really is no noticeable performance difference on the top 3 cars. Why would you want to put up with the headache at this point unless you live or are 50% plus based in Havasu. Even then is it worth it?

 

[RiverDave]

Was that a Robbie Gordon tattoo?

Thats what it looked like..

 

[Done-it-again]

Thats what it looked like..

WTF , anyone else think that’s a tad odd?

 

[FlyByWire]

This guy used to be Robby’s biggest cheerleader. And yeah, he’s got a Robby tattoo. He’s backed WAY off on posting drama though on “advice of his lawyers”

 

[RiverDave]

Well to be clear on the thread title this is the same guy that’s in all the videos in the speed thread.. so I’m not sure it’s “another” irritated speed customer.

I haven’t been paying attention but how many people are out there making videos like these?

 

[rivermobster]

WTF , anyone else think that’s a tad gay?

Fixed it for ya.

They get off maybe One, then Robbie gets in touch and threatens the shit outta them.

Next time you see the guy with the white one, that runs around Havasu, Ask him about it.

He showed my BIL all the text messages Robbie sent to him.

Hell of a way to do business.

 

[76sanger]

A new startup business where the cars are expected to be beaten to hell and ran hard. I think the cars are actually handling everything extremely well! Can you imagine how good these are going to be over the next couple of years when minor bugs are worked out and new products are implemented?

 

[rmarion]

OHV, Desert, MX riding or racing...

shits gonna break...

if you PUSH IT HARD... its gonna break more..


it don't really matter how much it costs...

Agreed 100%. The Pro R will be our next ride unless something crazy happens.

I can imagine they’ll be very good. Can also see where they’ll never figure out the drivetrain issue.
Do you think they’ll ever figure out the Speed Key that was promised? Will they ever be able to run a windshield? The risk/reward just isn’t worth it for me.

Ya Polaris and Can-Am were never worth the reward when they first came out either. As well, Polaris still cannot burn up belts after how many years?

 

[Angler]

Another speed thread?

How long until you can run a Speed car on a long ride without worrying about making it back? Pretty sure the Pro R is pretty dialed. The new Can Am doesn’t have a belt. “Were never worth it” is in the past for those two. When will that be for Speed?

He has a tattoo of Robby Gordon?!?!

[FasterBae]

Thats it, I’m starting a Joyner thread

 

[pixrthis]

I finally watched the video and the guy comes off as a kook, I hope people aren’t basing decisions on his comments. Speed should buy his car back to shut him up.

Robby did even better. He told him to go fuck himself.

 

[TPC]

Our Rzr S spent most its life at the dunes sitting broken on the trailer.
Not damaged, just broke.

When I was into photography ya bought 2 Hassleblad cameras.
One to use while the other was in the shop.

 

[TBulger]

Four years of discussion, entertainment, bitching, camaraderie and display of wealth alone makes the Speed car a great value.

 

[Gelcoater]

****Not a Speed basher here****

We were out there to see the RedBull deal last weekend.
Robbie didn’t place well at all.
Probably frustrating for him, and his son crashed his car.

I’ll give Robby credit, he’s a showman. His driving was obviously better than the other racers.
Sounded like it wasn’t pulling top rpm or something and just not as fast as some of the other cars.
The suspension looked to be performing above par.

I’m sure they will get it sorted.

 

[82daytona]

Is this video before or after his last tantrum?

 

[wallnutz]

Another speed thread?

Reported...

Hater!

 

[Bigbore500r]

What does Robby say when he passes Max?

HISUN

 

[Outdrive1]

When I watch that video all I hear is “my vagina hurts”.

 

[2Driver]

My wifes Honda Accord needed a transmission at 5k miles.

She didn't make a video of it and she doesn’t have an accord tattoo, guess we are doing it all wrong

She should of bought a Toyota Camry. Lol

I almost respect Robby more for that. lol..

 

[Heylam]

I’d get a Robby Gordon tattoo on my back, but my River Dave tattoo takes up most of it. Bummer

When Max rolled the car Robby turned around to check on him and make sure he was okay. That was a big roll. Turning around put Robby at the back of the pack.

It’s odd to me that Robby competes in these deals in Glamis. If I was a Glamis rider I wouldn’t be looking at the Speed car as an option, it’s a desert car.

 

[rivermobster]

HISUN

Post of the year.

 

[rivrrts429]

It’s difficult to watch any of his videos. He’s a typical YouTuber. Drama and sensationalism drives viewer traffic, likes, and comments which translates to a revenue source. Even when he was fanboying over the car it was rough to watch.

As are ALL SxS's...

The power to weight ratio is totally bassackwards for the sand.

Yet, there are shit tons of em trying to pretend they are sand cars.

Sand cars actually DO have an LS in them!

 

[riverroyal]

I did see a new polaris with a broke tie rod yesterday in a absolutely horrible spot. The down hill to Boriana mine.
Best fix would be to push it off the cliff right there and total it.
No clue what the guy was going to do. He was in a group, we stopped and didn't need to help.
Car looked less that a year old.
They all break.

They do fairly well for what they are but I won’t argue your point. You’re not wrong!

Broke tie-rod is an easy fix depending on where it broke. We carry a fix for them on our race car that will get us far enough to meet the chase truck should we break one.

Tie-rods (on production vehicles) are designed/meant to break. It's the weak link, that helps prevent more expensive suspension components from breaking.

Except they didn't have one...pretty sure they left the car overnight

Lesson learned.

She should of bought a Toyota Camry. Lol

I bought one for my kid at ASU. LOL a whole family of risk takers.

Easy there, some of us don't have an LS in our sand cars
