    But i have got my hopes up for grabbers and mavericks... And i will go there and they say they sold their maverick years ago... Or it was totally different then wat was described some people can exagerate very good.

    Well guys and galls ,im a little bumed as my friend Rob who told me about this Grabber had found it a year ago and hadnt been back since .It is in a area were there is about 30 lakes all in the same area with a **** load of small gravel roads and cabins and recreation properties everywhere on the lakes ,we couldnt find it ,after driving around for a hour ,he will try again to locate it on his own and call this time when he finds it . Well i didnt come back empty handed . I did buy something while i i was on this road trip of fun and adventure.My friends dad is a avid golfer and hooked me up with a track vehical to drive around at the track when i race,or should i say ,not racing, as next year i am going to bracket race. A super deal i couldnt refuse ,a 1990 golf cart, 250 cc two stroke that runs like a top,this week i will paint Grabber Blue with a silver race strip,jack it up 4 inches and put a one size up tire on. The price for the cart 325.00:dancing:. heres a pic ,ps a great time was had by Bev and i . P.P.S ill have it painted and ready to use and cruz by all who show up to the Mega Ford Weekend. . Jimmy

    Sorry but i knew that was gonna happen people exagerate and make up stuff just to have a conversation i have realized this by the countless times we have searched for mavericks.. And even if you find it i bet it wont be anything like the description.:( Nice cart though that will look really good grabber blue.

    1973maverick357,you cant always get what you want ,if you try 10 times ,maybe ,just maybe one of them turns out . If somebody gives you lemons ,make lemonaid. Hey,i didnt get another grabber YET,but i did get a cool race track cart for a smokin deal,wait till you see it in a week.(y)
