Rodger you got hosed on the coverage... they cut back to your truck when it was already stalled at 120k for a bit. No interview for you pal. Did show you sitting in it as they panned by tho as you were getting ready to drive it off. They did mention your name, Ironworks, and 7k man hours.

Dude is too f'n fugly for TV!

Really sorry to see the truck go... I've considered (mulled over) buying it several times for myself, then letting him keep it to take to shows in the big rig... Probably kick myself for not having the stones. Oh well.

Once again - the auctions seem to lack real firepower... which is no surprise. Also I note that several big time buyers are selling some of their stuff... and that raises the hair on the back of my neck. But lets not jack Rodgers thread.

Im kinda sad to see a that hard work gone. But im also glad to see it go. That truck did what it was supposed to do, put us on the map. Not sure what the map is of. But we are on somebodies map. We got one final round of marketing out of it and I got a couple grand more then my best offer would have netted me.

It was kind of sad just leave the truck parked in the building and not have any idea where its going or be able to show some one how to use all gizmo crap on the truck. Its not like there is an owners manual for it.

Hopefully the new owners will enjoy it. I'm sure you will be hearing from them. You can give them the how to's then. I actually am a bit sad to see it go. You set the bar in truck building and since we are building a truck that's what we are shooting for. Onward and upward buddy!

At that price, the new owner shouldn't be afraid to drive the wheels off.
