Thanks,I have many "vintage transportation "options....(even a 67 Shelby lol ;))

Thanks for posting, the clear boards are are kool  8)  You can never have enough stuff ! my wife begs to differ  ::)

I have this Hobie board,  it's packed away, internet image here, that I got for Christmas around '65 ? has those clay wheels.

Kids in my area who board, are surprised when I tell them I first saw boards at my school (Ontario, Canada) around '64

I'm sure they started in California, any ideas of what year they appeared ?

.    Yeah the plexiglass boards are cool,but they break(guess how I know).I believe clay wheels replaced steel  mid 60s(I have examples of both)Urethane wheels debuted with Cadillac dk73s in 1973(I have those too)Precision bearings replaced loose bearings in 1975 with road riders(which I have many of)

Ladies and Gentlemen we did not post this in order to get hostile or emotional.

We are truly looking for alternative ways of transportation that may benefit us as possible investors!

Take a look at this idea, we would have  to partner with the local town or municipalities as they have to provide "special roads" for us.

It's called Tobbagon Transportation,  we would employ locals to assist us with this new system.  The start up cost would be nominal and local wicker baskets will be had from existing vendors in town. 

Why do we need wicker baskets?

Heck that's how we are going to transport our precious cargo, our customers  !

We will zip them from here to there safely in comfortable wicker Tobbagons

Once again our vehicles will be made using local wicker basketwork and employing local ( two ) drivers or carreiros

Standing at the back of the wicker basket they use their feet to push, propel and maneuver the wicker vehicle to its destinations in no time

The maximum speed they can go is almost 24 mph

SAAC-KERS who's ready to invest with me in this wicked wicker transport  !

Whoops I forgot to mention that our profits will triple when our customers decides to come home and the carreiros will have to push up hill....

Mo money, mo money, mo money !

Preaching to the choir,   very well aware of the sinking we may have 20/30 years in the FL keys. But who knows  ?

Just spoke to Disney and they will not endorse or allow "Flubber" to be used as a form of transportation.

Believe you me I tried

Alright, alright, alright with fuels prices continuing to escalate I have another franchise opportunity , The Party Bike !

The vehicle serves more as a refreshment stand — the refreshment usually being alcohol — rolling through the city streets to take you to work or play.

The origins of the beer bike trace back to the Netherlands of 1997.

The human-powered multi-passenger cart became a popular leisure activity for tourists, and staff and bachelor parties.

But today it will alleviate your transportation fuels costs and also make you ECO friendly

Generally, the design resembles early 20th-century trolley carts with side benches for the pedalers.

Since its invention, the party bike has ventured out to a number of European countries and the United States.

So SAACkers who's ready to invest with me on this ECO friendly transportation,  mobile serving adult beverage  dispenser and mobile work out gym .

Three benefits in one location, can't beat that

Not sure about what to do about gas prices...

But when you close down a pipeline, fracking and drilling and then have a problem in Russia I'm guessing it should be expected...

Succinct.  Accurate.
"Low she sits on five spoke wheels
Small block eight so live she feels
There she's parked beside the curb
Engine revving to disturb
She's the princess from his past
Red paint gold stripes damned she's fast"
