Just make the hauler look timeless. No Gimmicks, No Crap that looks dated in 10 years. Kind of like blue jeans and a T-shirt or a tuxedo. They never go out of style.

Don't make you truck look like a really nice set of Big Block Chevy Valve Covers that everybody had on their hot rod rod 20 years ago and now look like they are 20 years one when they are brand new

I agree.

You really think I'm going to still have this same rig 10 years from now? You've got to be joking...


The Sunbrella fabric won't last 10 years... and if it did last that long - it'd be filthy and would have been replaced long before. But I also get what you're saying.... which is EXACTLY why I don't want the whoopteedo paint jobs they put on these things. I can't even imagine what we'll all think of those 10 years from now!

You're right -- someone ELSE will be washing it!


I bought some elevator shoes! Tony uses them when he does drywall.


I have all black now.... never again buddy -- never!


Currently own a black MBZ - Porsche - Truck - trailer... JUST SHOOT ME!

Might be true for most people. But as you are certainly aware... this is GW. He can and will afford to change it every 3-5 years I'd venture to guess.

I like the yellow awning idea off the gray. Go for it. And change it when you change cars. Or taste. Or whatever.

THANK YOU! That's EXACTLY what I was thinking..... it's like --- so what If I sold the car -- just get new awnings. What's the big deal about that?

Hey I can't help it if he and I are the only ones who can admit that we are in touch with our feminine sides around here. We aren't cavemen.

There's some really tough guys around here apparently... :lol:

FETorino 04-24-2012 10:33 PM

Awnings are cheap. If you sell the car include them with it. I think it would be pretty cool. :thumbsup:

The grey trailer is timeless. Remember the big guy telling you to go understated is driving around with huge orange flames.

Are you saying he has "flame remorse" already? :lol:

GregWeld 04-25-2012 07:54 AM

Big difference -- one rig was used -- one rig is custom ordered.


I've asked the factory to do a rendering - with and without ghost flames - in the lava grey color... 'cause it's going to be lava grey - that part is "done". Now the choice is going "classy" with a grey awning -- or having some "fun" with the light yellow version.

Vegas69 04-25-2012 08:00 AM

I'd definitely break up the color scheme with some contrast on the awning. To me, that's like a black car that's murdered out. I like the contrast of a red awning. Plus, it would match your matchbox toy, the 32.:lol:

I thought it was a choice between "Classy" and "Cute" :D

My senior community banned yellow, sumthin about raising my fellow members heart rates too much. So I ordered it this way. :mad:

Okay -- Cute was Gwen's version.... "Fun" is my version. :lol:


I think if I was going to be parking at the local KOA old folks trailer park -- the "classy" (think old worn out - and velcro clill tennis shoes) version would be most appropriate -- but I see it at Infineon (now called Sonoma Raceway) - Thunderhill - or Buttonwillow as a "race rig" and the grey - with ghost flames on the nose - and yellow awnings would be "killer" and "fun" and my wife would think it's cute and claim it as her "idea"..... and with Charley's '66 or Jackass and my car parked under the awnings -- it would look like a bad ass race team!

On the Girard awning website they only offer two yellows -- and frankly - their website sucks.... but I was thinking the lighter pale yellow -- so it has light under it - but reflects the sun as well.

If I had that -- which is kinda kool as golf carts go (vs the rolls royce version) I'd have to have it make good exhaust sounds.

BMW was offering piped in sounds IIRC.

Iacocco was marketing this one...the apple didn't fall far from the tree.

Charley uses his Segway at track events -- which IMHO is brilliant!

I just ordered a pink Schwinn with banana seat and ape hangers.

Might as well throw a Mary Poppins DVD in your 87 inch TV while you're at it.

I just sent Charley a link to a FleaBay listing for CUSTOM wheels for the Segway! I had no idea! And they're like 2 grand! WTF!

Are you going to call West Coast Customs and get a custom one made.
