Pinto

This is kind of old I think, but I just ‘seen it’ so give me a break. Burton teamed up with German Volvo tuning shop Heico Sportiv to produce a concept Volvo C30. Now I’m not one to tell Jake Burton how to do his job, as much because he has enough money to have me killed but also because he has enough money to have me killed. I don’t get it. I mean the purchasers of this vehicle are going to strap a giant knife to there feet and throw themselves off cliffs, onto rails and at massive back country kickers. Why would they buy a car most often driven by octogenarians in hats? No, this won’t do at all. What Burton needs to produce is a real car. Something that embodies the suspense of Russian roulette; the only true ‘extreme’… To you, Mr. Snowboarder… I propose the POP Pinto.
