   Probably a leftover from the Navy’s old Terminal Island Base

   That is just WRONG! That M38A-1 should be driving again. Well, maybe the husband died and she decided there must be something it could be used for….

   Think of it as a ‘scare-jeep’, designed to scare jeepers away from the port. If you park your jeep there, they might just make a planter out of it, too!

   I just don’t understand why someone would do that, then again it is California…..

   No doubt this company is being approached by jeep guys asking if they’re interested in selling it. If it were me, I’d sweeten the deal by also offering large flower containers to go in its place.

   Shades of Ed “Big Daddy” Roth’s “Orbitron” found in Mexico. Google it, folks, a great story with a happy ending!

   Boomer .. cool story.

   However, given its past role as “as a trash can in front of an adult book store”, I’m not sure even bleach could remove the toxic waste placed into the Orbitron . . . yikes!

   Only a fool would do this, someone should let them know that the jeep is painted with LEAD paint, that would give them heartburn. Some one should be burnt at the stake for wasting a jeep like that, it will only last a year or two and there will nothing left of the floor or sides and will look like hell, oh well our tax dollars at play…Phil

    Whenever I see the Ed Roth stickers, I think of bubble gum. I can’t say for sure if the Roth stickers could be purchased with the flat strips of bubble gum, but I know I bought stickers or auto collector cards of some type.
