Title: Buggy and desert (pics)

Instead of RedBull races, I went to a desert to drive around in a nice little buggy. Here are some of the pictures I took

And here's a short and crappy video of it. http://youtube.com/watch?v=Rft8ZTurp6U
bumpy bump in the end.

That looks like a Tahoe toyhauler?

If it is, I probably had a hand in building it.

Very nice. Used to live in a desert.  Kids were too young for all that fun stuff, but we saw folks out in the desert all the time.  
Would be nice to move back for a short spell while the kids are young & rowdy enough to go for that sort.

Nice pictures.:)

So I can blame you for shady work then. :lol It seems as if some 'illegal' labor was used on it...and I'm not joking here. Quality is really poor in some areas....

I would only take offense if I still worked there... only 25% of the workforce is illegal. The rest have papers of some kind.
