I swear to god, just down the road from my grandpas farm where I am working on my 1975 Ford 3000, I saw what appeared to be a new JD combine with a yellow paint flame job.

Please God, tell me I was hallucinating and that farmers are not this gullable to pay extra for what I assume would be an option.

No photos? Are we certain it was paint?

3M Makes custom vinyl wraps for cars, trucks and tour buses. Maybe ten years ago they did a Budweiser custom wrap for a Case/IH combine.


 
IMO, for a combine to have a correctly done flame job would look similar to this Ford Pinto...

Are you too young to remember the hoopla around Pintos and fuel tank fires?

Yes I had one for the kids to drive to school. Never had a problem and it was a nice cheap car, well built otherwise for those who wound up with problems of the sort. Sometimes designers can't think of everything. With millions of drivers in different situations with different abilities to operate a motor vehicle it's gotta be a heck of a guessing game for designers.

I'll add that in the case of Amazon, you don't need to include the full URL. Everything after the alphanumeric listing ID is tracking information that tells Amazon how you got to the listing. Just copy the first part of the URL, but drop everything after the listing ID. Not only is the URL shorter this way, you're not giving Amazon information they don't need.

This works too

That Pinto brings back some memories.

Actually I had a Pinto with a manual shift, drove it to Georgia from Canada at least twice and only had trouble with the light switch getting hot and was refused help at every garage I stopped at.

The someone told me to take off my Cincinnati Reds shirt I bought in Ohio.

If the Ford Pinto came back on the market I most certainly would buy one if it was reasonably priced.

But it would have another $7,000 worth of federally-mandated stuff on it now.
 
If K-cars and Pintos were still being built every family would have wheels and citizens wouldn't be gouged at the local dealership.

Even the homeless would have a place to sleep although it's kind of cramped in a Pinto.
