I thought it would be the pefect toy to have on the back of your big boat when you want to go to shore and explore.Thats the new fad with the rich up here is to have there quads on the boat so thay can go exploring on the islands.Im jealous of them and all there toys.8)

Let me elaborate on this!

I work for such a person, he has lots of cars and toys, To the point of not being able to enjoy them all. He can`t remmember how to operate them all. Case in point.

This summer, he came and got the Jet Ski`s, took them to the lake and was only going to use the sit down one. He had his grand kids with him and they were going to enjoy a day playing around on the Jet Ski.. Well, I heard later that it wouldn`t run right. Well, it`s my job to make sure these things are operable so I went and got it and brought it into the shop to check it out. I felt very responsable for there day not going well. I started it up and it was fine. His complaint was that it would start but wouldn`t take the gas. Turned out to be pilot error as he didn`t turn the choke off.

This happens all the time with all the cars he has, he can`t remember how to operate everything.

He has:

4 Four wheelers
2 boats
2 Jet ski`s
4 familily type cars and trucks
2 late model sports cars
9 cars in the car collection
3 motels
4 familily homes
various business buildings around town
3 duplexes and the shop where I hang out
And a law practice to run

he doesn`t know which end is up, there is something wrong somewhere all the time.
