    Tent collapse smashes cars at Scottsdale auction

    I suspect that only a few of the cars will be completely totaled by the insurance companies. Most will likely be repaired. A lot of sellers (and buyers) were freaking out on Thursday morning because no one knew what was going to happen. I still haven't gotten the full details, but I...

    Tent collapse smashes cars at Scottsdale auction

    I know there are usually a few here following the auctions down in Scottsdale each year. In addition to the Barrett-Jackson auction, there are several other auction companies that operate in Scottsdale during the same time. One company, Russo & Steele, had two tents collapse one night during a...

    Become a NORA member today! Read on!

    SUWA and Sierra Club are "public" charities. NORA is a for-profit corporation not limited by the restrictions of maintaining tax-exempt status. That doesn't mean NORA was founded to make money, on the contrary they've lost tons of money getting started. It means that they can be legally...

    US Forest Service to Rewrite Forest Panning Rule

    I've had the same question. ATV manufacturers have other products. Jeep will be Jeep. It's the small manufacturers and retailers of accessories and add-ons that will go out of business. They don't have an outlet for mounting a sustainable and winnable fight. So there's nothing they can do...

    Because there are no results. Why would we expect repeat donors when their contributions are tossed into what appears to be a black hole? Is it that they can't do enough because they don't get enough donations or is it that they don't get enough donations because they don't do enough? Based...

    US Forest Service to Rewrite Forest Panning Rule

    THE fundamental issue! More important than "greenies" or anything else. As we've discussed, this is why the affected users (US!!!) are the ones who must take the responsibility to supplement existing management resources. NO OTHER GROUP OR GOVT AGENCY will do this for us. They don't care...

    US Forest Service to Rewrite Forest Panning Rule

    Holy wow. Read the full list of "questions" the USFS would like the publics input on by reading the complete notice of intent in the federal register. Starts at the bottom of this page: http://fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/stelprdb5110264.pdf Pretty good strategy. The...

    I asked myself the same question when NORA came around. So I called Pearse and spent some time (over multiple conversations) to get to know him and NORA. So why do we need a new group? Has motorized recreation been saved? Have these other groups put forth a plan to soundly protect...

    1953 M-35 4x4 in Monterey for $3500

    Not mine, but I saw this listing: http://monterey.craigslist.org/cto/1536573059.html Looks pretty nice and reasonably priced.

    Renewing

    Very true. I'm not trying to pile on or diss U4WDA (or any org) at all. Please do not interpret this response in that way. But some of these membership questions are going back 4-6 months without resolution. I think we should have higher expectations for our land use groups. The most BASIC...

    In the market for a Vintage car?

    Barrett-Jackson, R&M, Russo & Steele, Kruse and Gooding & Co all have auctions in Scottsdale/Phoenix during the same time. There aren't any cars in this collection that are worth taking to Scottsdale. With the exception of Kruse, the auction houses wouldn't consider taking these cars. Junk.

    In the market for a Vintage car?

    That's how they make 'em. These white-trash classics are scattered around in some wierd places. As I suspected, the auction company was woefully unprepared to handle this sale. But they were getting a lot of local hype.

    Long distance running

    I'm obviously not into running, but I heard a lengthy discussion on a sports/talk station about this book: "Why We Run" http://www.amazon.com/Why-We-Run-Natural-History/dp/0060958707 The premise and facts disclosed during the radio discussion were fascinating, and the book would probably...

    Damage at Sand Flats

    Found this line from the article interesting: Isn't it well known that many groups and individuals go to Moab for Thanksgiving? Shouldn't they be expecting more traffic than the average winter weekend? Regardless, pretty sorry situation. I wish the responsible parties could be caught...

    In the market for a Vintage car?

    The auction company is saying that the cars listed are the cars in the sale. I called them since they claimed to have 240+ vehicles, but only listed half that number online. Perhaps some of the cars were sold through another venue, although it seems odd.

    In the market for a Vintage car?

    Yeah, I'll be there. This quote from one of the auctioneers is why I'm excited to attend: There are 2-3 auctions a month that have diverse and exotic catalogs. Thanks to Kurt for giving me the initial heads-up on this auction. I haven't seen this auction publicized in the collector car...

    Scoutabout!

    Yes! I've been searching for a TD Scout for myself for a couple years. I think his price is a tad high, but in the range. It's a little far, but I'd love to check it out and see the condition of the body/mechanical. I just got this two weeks ago...
