    You have to think like a Buggyman to do the math. He's been mentally stretching and modding things in his mind lately, so 16 became 32 real quick.

    He's probably already secured the purchase of the machine, and has plans on making a Bigfoot BIGFOOT out of it.

    I think this should be the motto for all amphibs.

    Unfortunately, after my Uncle passed, they had to clear everything out for insurance reasons (pretty much how we got a few the the Tru Way racers). Not sure if someone else local got it or it went for scrap. I'll check and see if my Cousin or Aunt might know what happened for sure.

    You get about 130 lbs of flotation from each 22X11X8 tire. 130X32 tires means it will float 4160 LBS in the water!!!
