Interest from random people

I've had the old Hustler I just bought in the bed of my truck all week due to no time to offload it yet. I was in the parking lot of my parent's condo when someone came up and asked me what it was and if they were still made. Yesterday I was pulled up at a stop light when someone pulled up to me, got my attention, and waved toward the back of my truck. I thought maybe I was on fire or something. I rolled down the window and he asked where he could get something like what was on the back of my truck. I told him what it was and he said he knew, he wanted to know where to buy one.

I pointed both of them to this site, so if you made it, hello.

I'm sure we have all had the tail gater's on the highway! Or the kid in the back seat of his dad's car yelling, what's that dad! I get a kick out of it.

I stop counting on the times I had the same thing happen to me!

They attract some attention all right. I have the only one I know of for a 100 miles. Little kids love them, adults, not so much. Too slow compared to a Razor I guess.

I have the only Max IV in my town and people say things like, "Cool Argo." I tell them its a Max not an Argo. They never hesrd of one.

I have the same issue in my town. The uninitiated only know about Argo. I think it is a result of the TV ads in our area. We have a longtime Argo dealer who puts on a lot of ads. A lot of the hardcore sportsmen know the difference between Max and Argo, though.

Funny thing, though. In some parts of Alaska, a Ranger is not built by Polaris! That was a 6 wheel tracked rig. I am not sure who built it.

We get similar comments and questions as most of you whenever we take the machines out: "Do they still make those?" "Does it float?" "I had one just like that when I was a kid, but it had a steering wheel." "Have you ever gotten it stuck?" "Where do you buy something like that?"

On our way to PS4, a tour bus full of Asian people passed us and one lady videoed us all the way by. Do you suppose there will be a Hustler Bigfoot copy coming from China in the near future?

Once on the way to a ride, we were stopped at a traffic light with three machines on the truck & trailer. A woman in the passenger side of the car beside us rolled down the window and asked: "Do those things float in the water?" When I told her that yes, they do, the guy driving leaned over and said "I just won five dollars!".

Have a lot of fun when I am trailering the machines. Gas stops are always filled with question and lookie-lou's. Had the Avenger on the trailer once and a lady asked if that Six wheeled machine would float? I just casually told her it had 8 wheels, she argued with me until she looked again and COUNTED the number of tires. We had a great laugh and her husband questioned her check book abilities.

I had a city water guy out today to check on a possible leak. He mentioned the Argos in the driveway and said they had a Coot Argo at his duck club. If I owned the Argo trademark I'd be taking out some ads to tell the world its not a generic word before it goes the way of aspirin and heroin, which were originally Bayer's trademarks.
