Kind of a cool story to this car:
This was temporary car to get through a couple trips while Im still working on my new one. While we were out at UTV Invasion in Utah I got a text from someone interested in this sand car and asked if I could get back to them after our trip, so I did. When I called him he told me of how he was friends with the Original owner that built the car and was personal friends with Larry. He mentioned that not long ago he was talking with them and trying to figure out what happened to this car, which none of them knew its whereabouts. Then he saw my post. The guy came and picked it up a few days ago, beyond stoked to get a car back that he wished he could have bought from his friend. It was very cool chatting with him as I told him what I knew/learned about the car and his memory was refreshed and would add to the knowledge as we went though the car together. Its a cool/strange feeling when your telling stories about a car and its "unique characteristics" as they all have, only to be told the story of how those became a thing in the first place, lol. example; I told him of how I was kind of bummed when I went to pick up the car and the previous owner didnt mention how the rear wing was a little bent. "Oh, thats what happens when it flys off while driving!" Says the guy buying it from me, lol. Immediately I felt relieved but also intrigued that he knew more about the car then I did. "Yep, one of those things that got over looked when we were all so excited to test it. the car was still brand new and it flew off on the first trip. We straightened it up the best we could but, it is what it is, lol".
Any ways, to cool not to share that it came just about full circle to its original group. And even so to a guy that really wants and loves this car. It has some cool history for him, and I am beyond stoked he gets to make more with it.
Heres a POV run through Little Sahara with my girls. their 7 and 5 and cant get enough of the sand. with that being said, its not ripper of a run.
