    I hope he didn't pull the trigger, that thing is probably worth money as a collectable now.

    A few years ago I also had an explosive moment with a gas leaf blower that wouldn't start resulting in my whaling it against the garage wall until it exploded...it felt good .

    Bradley, I randomly came across something recently that made me think of this thread.

    It was an advertisement for "golf cart tune up".

    That sounds right up your alley for when you're ready to "coast into" retirement and get tired of trucking once and for all. You must have a lot of rich country club members around the Omaha area, right? Maybe they have their own golf carts to drive around in their upper class neighborhoods, as well as for the golf course?

    If you put some good advertising into it you could probably make decent money putting air in the tires, changes to fluids if necessary, spray it off and shine it up real good with the pressure washer like you do with the mowers.....

    I had never thought of that idea before for a business, but honestly I bet rich people would pay decent money for it, especially with the cart coming back all nice and shiny from a pressure wash. I mean the idea was obviously good enough to work for SOMEBODY who runs this kind of business, since they were advertising for it.
