Hi Everyone, Most people would correctly assume that I’m a bit of a Nerd but most people don’t understand how deeply my gearhead roots run. Most of my family was in the construction business, so it when I first found a need to own a Bobcat, I bought one. For a Nardone, buying your first piece of heavy equipment is a sort of rite of passage. So, even though I only use it to plow the parking lot at my company (about 3/4 acre), I still have am very proud to own one.

Well, my Bobcat was a little bit...ugly. I wasn’t going to buy a newer one, so I decided to hire two students from Detroit’s College for Creative Studies to rework it. One of the students, Christina Smith, had previously pimped out a forklift for me, so I knew she had the skills. We decided on TRON as the theme.

Here is a teaser photo of the results. After the paint dries and I hook up the lighting effects, I will produce a better photo because it looks amazing. I couldn’t be prouder of them and their work. I want to share it with everyone I know.
