Lol, I've had people argue with me to the point that I had to point out the stickers that say "Hustler" before they'd accept that it wasn't an Argo.....

when I tell people I have a triton predator they give me the goofiest look and I always have to say to them its similar to an Argo its to the point where I would rather say nothing unless they bring it up lol.

I'm a pretty big RCer and that was pretty cool! He mainly used the drive electronics from a rc tank. Pretty smart idea. But some money went into building that.

I wanted to build one of those, since 5th grade. Awesome!

That Argo looks sweet! (joking hehe) Anybody else notice that the first guy to call it an Argo has 11,653 posts!?!?! I can't even imagine how somebody would have so much time to write sooooo many posts

And how would somebody that has that many posts/time on their hands not know the difference between an Argo and a Max. I can't stand how everyone calls any 6 wheeler and "Argo".

It's one of those things where one brand is so well-known that it's the first thing someone that's not a 6 wheeler buff thinks of. It's kind of like "Crescent" wrenches. Crescent is a brand, but everyone one I know calls any adjustable wrench a "Crescent" wrech. Varsol, Skil saws, Chan-nel-lock pliers, and Sawzalls are some others I can think of. Just like when most non-farmers think of a tractor, they think of John Deere...

That's true, it's brand recognition. And just a side note, I always pass right by the Channel Lock factory when I get off the interstate on my way to Amphibious Drew's house. It makes me think of how I always call even non Channel Lock brands, Channel Locks.
