Re: Rick Dobbertin is at it again
The pic of the J2000, the pontiac doing the burn out is John Justice so why is that there? Different cars, Johns' car was built by Suncoast.
I'm a newbie, but i gather from some of the conversation about Rick and the J2000 that we must know each other from 'back in the day'. ojA Carter Carb Shop, sales and serviceComment

Re: Rick Dobbertin is at it again
Not really. The trip around the world in the Surface Orbiter was (arguably) an epic "fail."Originally posted by SpiderGearsMan
http://www.ytmag.com/nboard/messages/122921.htmlThere were internal fuel spills, radio malfunctions, and while they set a record as the first car to drive through the Panama Canal, Rick and Karen did run into trouble. "In Puerto Rico, we were stopped by the DEA and the FBI ... they thought we were Colombian drug smugglers, then when we got to Columbia, these Colombian guerrillas with their A-k 47-s and I thought ... here we go." The guerrillas let the couple go, but not without first posing for a photo. Their one year trip had turned into three and a half years of grueling togetherness.
By 1996, Rick and Karen were out of patience and out of money leaving them no choice but to come home. The orbiter was in pretty good shape, but the same couldn't be said of their marriage. When they got back, Karen filed for divorce. "Nothing panned out quite as we had hoped," she says. But what about the Orbiter? Who would get it? Who would even want it?
