Surprised someone hasn't asked to see Proof of shipping. They should have a tracking numbers or a container number etc.

Can you track a ship like a plane?
If you had the cargo container number, or the ship name, I believe you can.

Last week Robby told me that they paid all of the port fees on Thursday, so I'd assume that meant they were paying for offloading, and transportation of the containers.

when i was doing alot of shipping you had to pay the fees first before they shipped not when they got to port

Speed would not have excavated a temporary loading dock in the parking lot of the Hastings building if they weren't expecting containers shortly.

The earlier RZR's were very tight in the pedal department, that might be what RG is referring to.
I have not sat in any of the new RZR's, I did have an opportunity a few weeks ago due to having a new one in our camp with just a few hrs on it, but it was parked for the entire trip due to the Stop-n-Ride bulletin for a clutch issue and backordered parts.
So, it was just a display item sitting in camp, if it were mine, I would have run the crap out of it all weekend lol.

Yep, and the Conestoga wagons rode like crap over the prairie.

How far back will he go to get favorable comparisons? 🙄🤔😁

Pretty sure Jesus is supposed to show up on Easter riding one.
I was under the impression rwg was the messiah? ...at least in the utv world anyways.



According to the Simpson's, god created Gary the unicorn, hence my rationale.

So 2 to a container?
That’s a lot of dead end containers in Havasu to get rid of. Why would they transport in a container from LB

How do you get 6 in a container? Honest question I don’t know.
Speed UTV website for the El Jefe 4 seat says 161" long (13.41' long), so 3 nose to tail would be 40.25' long, maybe bumper or trim removal would make them a bit shorter.

but likely you could fit 6 double stacked as shown in a 40' container with some ingenuity!

3 up 3 down remove bumpers 6 in a 40' high cube.

Years ago I bought a boat from a guy that shipped cars overseas. I watched them load a few. They framed up the inside with wood and stacked them in. That's why some used containers have so many holes in them.

6 a container and 5k direct orders makes 833 containers or so. A whopping 6 cars arrived. Man they will need to pick this up. Those guys with 2000+ car numbers are years out lmao

Can’t even say “wow they made it to havasu early”.

I think at this point it’s pretty obvious they will be delivering their first small batch when they said they would.

Up in the air still. But this would be the first “target date” that they would hit. Again after missing so many previous dates (directly from speed) I am very skeptical of them actually hitting a date)

I wasn’t worried about it, I am worried about the boat shows
Venue needs change for that boat show. Your effort covering incredible,the Boats look great. LA Convention Center looks rough,wore out & outdated. For what builders putting out to show up that place should shine.

Waiting for people to call top bunk for their car being shipped lol or comment on the weight of a car stacked onto theirs. That's a win for them today i'd say. Gotta take em when you can get em
