Somone asked me that very question over July 4th weekend. I had no idea what to tell them. Then of course came the dreaded, "What makes it Eco-Constructed" question.  ------------- https://calendar.google.com/calendar?cid=cnBvZC5zcG90dGVyQGdtYWlsLmNvbQ - RPod Rallies https://www.google.com/maps/d/embed?mid=1W1foQXGtrjf8aYly1uh0b-bHPfI&hl=en_US - RPod Owner Map |

Maybe, it was the only some letter-Pod combination that wasn't service marked, trademarked or copyrighted. Or maybe F-pod wasn't acceptable, but R Pod was, as in FR the manufacturer. ------------- Chris and Walt '10 RP-171 'Free Spirit' '13 Dodge Durango Crew 5.7 L Hemi V8 |
