Vote for the "icefishing car"


Guest

Recommended Posts

Hello all !
I'm new here. This looks like a very good site and I look forward to participating in your forums. I am a member of another outdoor site and we have a thread going on our icefishing forum and I thought you here might be interested also.

Discovery Channel has a show called "Monster Garage" where they take normal everyday vehicles and do some STRANGE things with them. I've only seen it a few times but it is pretty entertaining. Right now they have a poll going to see what their next project will be. One of the selections is an "Icefishing Car". It sounds pretty cool. Right now it's WAY behind the other two choices so we need your help. PLEASE vote ! Here is the address for the voting :

http://dsc.discovery.com/fansites/monstergarage/poll/poll.html

You are allowed to vote more than once but NO MORE than once every 12 hours. It's going to take a miracle but we have until the 24th of Feb. to make it happen.

Let's band together and get it done.

Thanks for your help !

Tom,
I was wondering the same thing ! Maybe they're just sick of Long Beach and want to do a "Road Trip". But I'll tell ya, it's gonna have to be a DOOZY from Southern CA. smile.gif

They got my vote....and will continue to get it every day until the vote closes. Im wondering if our forum has the power to get this idea to the top so we can actually see this monster get built? That would be awesome!!! Rick....anyway for you to post this where everyone will be able to see it?

aww... the Rock Climber is going to win frown.gif it allready has over half the votes! It sounds like the most BORING one! What is it with america's obsession with Uber SUV's anyways? The whole idea is just plain dumb... Jeep allready claims it can allready do that on their commercials! wink.gif This is lame... I don't watch the show myself but would if they had an ice-fishing car. Defiantly not for another boring all-terrian SUV...!

Good idea Tom.

I hadn't thought about it. But I'm going to make another post on the "Sound Off" forum on our site. We limit it to just the icefishing forum. Our site has over 4800 members and is growing RAPIDLY. We'll be over 5K VERY soon. We've just GOTTA push this thing through !

Good going folks. Thanks for the help. At first it looked hopeless but I'm starting to see a little glimmer of hope. smile.gif

Keep them votes coming!

Thats right vote everyday!!

4800 members for the next 12 days (polls are open until noon on the 18th) and 2 votes a day,..thats like 115,000 some votes, doesn't seem even fair! But we really stand a chance here.

We can easily do this!! Keep the votes coming and see what power we really have!

Also send this to everyone you know!!

I'm in! Cast my vote earlier and don't recall the tally. Keep the scorecard coming ... I think it's doable. Now all I gotta do is get the Discovery Channel!

Best FISHES,
Matt

    • Yeah it was a beatdown
    • Your kid needs to stay with him!👍
    • My kid was eating in Beverly Hills and ran into this guy. Talked to him a bit and wished him luck in the game tonight.     
    • 🤔as a recovering machinist!🤣🤣that must make me a recovering welder!
    • As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…
    • I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...
    • Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?
    • I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.
    • You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.   
    • Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
