Rick,

This is a good story. I live in Syracuse NY, where the vehicle was built by the married couple. It was a huge deal and there were a lot of chances to see it up close at shows and fairs.

The thing never made it around the world. I don't believe it made it very far at all, only to the northern most part of Latin America.

The vehicle was an 'attraction' at a local car dealer about 2 months ago here.

There is a huge mess with the ownership of the vehicle. The married couple isn't so married anymore and there has been an ugly fight for the vehicle and nobody agrees on anything.

For a few years it was stored in a barn near Syracuse. The barn was owned by a third party. I believe the third party was a friend of the wife. In order to keep the vehicle there she had to pay rent. She got behind on payments and neither the husband or the wife coud 'visit' the vehicle. Just a big ol mess.

I beleive the divorce is final and the vehicle is owned by someone else now. It is being used as an attraction and being rented out as far as I know.

I may be off on some of the details.

It was comical to watch the mess unfold.

I wonder if any divorce even fought over an 8N?
