And the story is amusing. Anyone who does this to any car, let alone a Corvette, should have vehicle ownership revoked for life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read the article about this one. His ex-wife was about to revoke vehicle ownership. So he devalued his prized possession. Apparently, it has many performance upgrades and is quite a beast underneath all the crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYLIBUD Posted April 17, 2019 Author Share Posted April 17, 2019 I feel like I'm gonna puke whenever I look at that orange Corvette.??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamsuperdan Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Is it really that bad though? It's just paint and can be undone. Admitted, it's about 100 layers of paint and crap, but it can all be undone. And really, it's just a C5 Corvette. These things are dime a dozen and cheap to buy.

bamadon Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Actually it's a C6 and not quite as cheap to buy. It can be undone and probably will be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess would be that it's set up for the big prairie dog shoots, or perhaps feral hogs, both of which are considered noxious vermin in parts of the country.

No. The thing would be driven to the shooting point, at which point it would become a stationary shooting mount. But I'm just guessing about this particular vehicle; I have no idea what it's actually for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSNJim Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 My guess is deer hunting. There's a deer stand on top, complete with lights for shining , and a couple of beer drinking seats up front. I guess there's room for a cooler between the seats. Maybe they're actually scouting seats. You sit a couple of people in the front seats, turn on the lights, and drive around slowly with them looking for deer signs. Once good signs are found, you stop, turn off the lights, wait for sunrise, and move to the stand. Of course, I could be totally wrong.

Doing what you suggest would get everyone in the car arrested for "jacklighting" in Maryland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake45 Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Well, here's some more details and pics of the thing. Definitely built for "hunting" but no details about what kind. It's in Texas so I'd suspect feral hogs might be involved. https://www.autoblog.com/cars-for-sale-detail-6187401239664930816-Jeep-CJ-1983 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snake45 Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Okay, I posted a link to that Jeep on one of my gun boards and asked what it would be used to hunt. A couple agreed with my guess on feral hogs. A couple said "night hunting of predators" (coyotes and such, I assume). And two others said it's for "quail hunting, following dogs over open country. The guys up top can see the dogs working," and suggested I google "Texas High Rack Hunting." So I guess it's a legitimate vehicle, and a real thing in Texas (at least). Who knew!

LDO Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Likely for hunting hogs. In Texas, feral hogs are a huge problem for farmers, causing about 50 million dollars a year in crop damage. There is no illegal way to kill wild hogs in Texas. You can pay to shoot them with a machine gun out of a helicopter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
