davelepka 4 #14 April 14, 2011 Impressive list. I'm surprised nobody thought of the Infinity rig / Infiniti car brand. Anyone want to bet on how soon Aerodyne will debut the new Accord student canopy? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VideoFly 0 #16 April 14, 2011 I learned to swoop on a Grand Cherokee. It was a good thing I had mud flaps. Great additions to the list. There must be more. I don’t know of any other product lines that share so many automotive names. What’s up with that? It may be that car manufacturers entice buyers with the promise of freedom, excitement, and adventure. On the other hand, skydivers live it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
