[@BleedingWhiteKnuckles]

They didn't they were write offs for the company's they made them for.

[@kennethsouthard6042]

I don't think a lot of people understand how write-offs work. All it means is that the expense like any other business expense like salaries iare deductible, but you still have to pay for it. That is because you are only taxed on profits, not spending. However, many seem to be under the mistaken impression that since a business bought it the government is somehow paying for it. The only people that can get over to an extent are smaller businesses when you can get away with using business property for personal use. In the case of companies that bought OC Choppers , that was really not the case, as I doubt the CEO was using it as a daily driver.

We built a house for a super wealthy lawyer woman who had a mint condition 60s Mustang of some kind that was special, I dont know the specifics, but it was worth a mint and rare. She had a special living room on the first floor with a turn table that the car could drive in, then turn around on, and it was on display in a living room with special glass automatic doors, I think they were a style of French doors but I could be remembering it incorrectly, we were only concrete and framing so I wasnt super privy to the whole thing as construction progressed to the very end. I didnt even know such a thing was possible but with enough money I guess everything is possible, with the right engineers and architects too. Your comment just reminded me of that.

I am somewhat sure that they have done that before. 4 State Trucks in Joplin, Missouri was doing the same thing with the trucks that they did those horrible and useless/dangerous interiors and $200 paint jobs and drove the final nail in the coffin of a lot of struggling truckers’ companies and televised it on CMT. I have 10 years worth of weekly pictures of the “under the sea” truck sitting on the side of I-20 in rural Texas with a for sale sign in the window and then the last picture is a rotator wrecker and a lowboy and a service truck with torches in the bed cutting the axles so it would roll at the scrapyard

1. Sometimes people think something does what it wasn't designed to do. 2. OC typically builds machines with the requested aesthetic to ride decent at the speed limit. 3. Most people don't understand much about automotive batteries in general let alone the charging system of their machine. 4. Some people don't know how to follow wires to confirm if they're positive or negative due to circuit path. 5. I'm quite stricken by the frame, never seen anything quite like it, and I love the fabrication.....makes my imagination run wild. I want a dozen and everything to build a fleet of custom bobbers.
