How about this..

How about we post something that either has a point or some information in it, whether that be positive or negative..

Some of these posts are enough to make you want to punch yourself in the nuts

Facebook rumors are that the new trans arrived in havasu this past week and are being installed in the first 10 cars. No official word from speed on that so far though.

So now the Speed cars are gay?

I can’t see the ad for some reason.

Of the dozen or so early buyers that have/had deposits that I personally know all of them would be fine if they sold today.

So is this guy taking a 6k loss? Or is he just mentally masturbating the crowd? 🤔
Idk but I made him a legit offer for the original ad that he had up about a month ago. I offered exactly what he was asking at the time. His reply was “the price just went up!” So I passed. He was originally asking the 12k he’s asking now and he raised the price to 18k.

Add hasn't been updated in four months. So I'm going with the mental masturbation theory. 😜

Did they get CARB approval?
If yes, does that mean those that were skipped are now scheduled to get cars when the next delivery occurs.

I have seen a couple of RG's Instagram post and it anything it just makes everything more confusing ! One time the replacement transmissions are in Havasu , then there on the water with 500 cars . Then he shows car # 209 being built ? I thought 500 were on the water on there way ??

According to RG and Todd, Carb has been approved. They also stated they are no longer skipping california cars, and people would get their cars in numerical order regardless of California or another state.

There have never been 500 cars on the water, he has never said that. The second batch of 24 cars were were supposed to have left, right around when the transmission issue was found at KOH, so that shipment was halted, and then subsequent shipment. All three of those shipments, were always coming before round of 500.

I haven't seen anything about the trans being here in Havasu, but I have read where people are saying they are here. It would not surprise me, as Robby showed a lot of completed trans over in Vietnam a week or so back. That is where he showed about 70 cars all completed, wrapped in plastic waiting on trans, then showed the assembly line with 209 and 211 on it, as well as what was said, 300 completed chassis.

Some of your posts are a little “emotional”
Your finding your feminine side? Thought this thread was about the Speed UTVs that haven’t been delivered as promised and the durability of test units that keep breaking. If you need emotional help for what you put a deposit on this isn’t for you.

From Robby on FB.
Shipment of 40+ cars getting ready to head out.
He said that batch will be delivered in May.

I don't see where he posted 2 weeks. It says MAY, that's anywhere from 18 days to 6 weeks from now.
So, I'd take that bet if Vegas was in fact taking bets.

Today is the 13th. May is 11 business days away. So two weeks and a day?

Odd are highly against Any time in May though, so I'd probably take the over. 👍🏼😁

So you use "business days" to count weeks in? I don't think the ships or ports take weekends off, and BTW, RG says "IN" May, not by May first, but you do you.

Glad to see it looks like they are only single stacking them in the shipping containers. I thought double stacking them was really stupid. I wouldn’t want my car’s suspension compressed under 2500lbs for the entire trip across the ocean

did the first stacked cars shipped go into the containers dropped an minimum ride height? looks like no way it would work otherwise. i thought when they came to havasu they rolled out regular not stacked like they were unloaded at the port and put in different containers . i could be totally wrong

They had supports under the bottom cars, the shocks and springs weren't compressed. there was a guy there when they unloaded them and had pics.

They were stacked as they pulled them out of the containers.

yes ok that’s why I thought it was bad for the springs because the lower one was not sitting on its bump stops. Thanks for the memory jog

I’m surprised they are shipping them assembled?

I would think wheels and roll bar off and in all in a crate? Like a MC or snowmobile etc.
