Cool work truck accessory.

You might recognize this guy as Balloon Boy's dad., Richard Heene. He is certifiable nutcase. #-o However this new truck invention that he is selling looks like a winner. What do you think?

Re: Cool work truck accessory.

Looks like a great idea and yes he is nuts. I'll bet he laughs all the way to the bank. Sometimes it takes crazy people to see outside the box (or balloon in this case).

Update: Never mind, he want's $17,333.76 for one so he'll probably sell like 3 of them if he's lucky. #-o

This being Father's Day, I can't help but consider Heene's son, Balloon Boy.
I mean, what if this guy was your DAD?? :shock:

Re: Cool work truck accessory.

Two reasons not to buy. 1- The guy is an ass. No one who behaves like that gets any of my money. 2-The rig sits on casters. Even if you lock them ,the tail gate , then the cab will be history before long.

Re: Cool work truck accessory.

Not exactly the type of person I would expect to be a serious and reliable business partner... :?
I also wonder how he wants to handle orders by 'AME International, with estimated projected sales to be at least $65 million over the next five years'?

This is AME International: http://www.ameintl.net/index.php?cid=1

I however kind of envy this guy for the motivation, self confidence and creativity of which he obviously has more than enough. I think that it takes both to come up with such an idea and to put it in practice. Not to speak of the idea with his boy and the balloons....
