The release of our new Professional 3″ Random Orbital has left a few of the first generation models lying around. Extra product like this can only mean one thing… it’s time for a contest! Caption this photo in the comments, then we’ll choose a winner next Wednesday (Dec 23) to win a FREE first-gen 3″ Orbital. Enter as many times as you like!
Can’t think of a caption? That’s ok… We’ve knocked $30 off the price of the remaining first generation 3″ Random Orbitals, so you can pick one up for yourself anyway. Enjoy!

One way to speed up a detailing project, remove the doors.
December 16th, 2009 at 10:43 am
Man what did I get my self into? I don’t know if Griot’s great products can help this one.
December 16th, 2009 at 10:46 am
I swear! There’s original paint in here somewhere.
December 16th, 2009 at 10:46 am
Man, I sure hope Griot’s sells Speed Shine in 55 gallon drums!
December 16th, 2009 at 10:53 am
Did I really say I’d rather pull a Chevy than drive a Ford?
December 16th, 2009 at 10:54 am
Now…where can I get some cinder blocks?
December 16th, 2009 at 11:01 am
I am a refrigerator repair man, I have a bitching set of tools, I can fix anything!
December 16th, 2009 at 11:09 am
Dude – the doors were here when we loaded her up!
December 16th, 2009 at 11:27 am
Seller Said, 1/2 Price after Sunday. Didn’t realize it’d be 1/2 a car by then.
December 16th, 2009 at 1:01 pm
Now… if I only had a tow vehicle!
December 16th, 2009 at 1:05 pm
It was a numbers matching car in the fact it was missing 2 wheels, 2 doors, two windows, two headlights, two front fenders….

Damn that Bo and Luke Duke – they promised me all of the General Lee!
December 16th, 2009 at 1:28 pm
I thought that E-Bay ad said “Some minor work may be needed”?????
December 16th, 2009 at 1:35 pm
Hmmmm – wonder if the scrap yard would take this for a case of beer!

“Honey, what you mean you don’t understand? Potential. Don’t you see the POTENTIAL?”
December 16th, 2009 at 3:04 pm
What’s that sound coming from the trunk? Is that you, Mr. Hoffa?
December 16th, 2009 at 3:07 pm

Dadburnit! Been ownin’ her all these years and I just realized all the money I coulda been saving with GEICO!

Realizing he had undertaken a lost cause, John decided to summon Auguste Rodin and do his best “The Thinker” impression.

If ye tilt yer hayid and squint ‘cher good eye, she kinduh looks like one-uh dem Ferrarahs.

Zeke often applauded his son’s excuses for breaking the car, but “The front end just fell off when I was driving and a bum stole my doors when I wasnt looking!” just made his head hurt.
December 16th, 2009 at 6:11 pm
“I chase cars… and man… I barely ran this classic beauty down in my boots”
December 16th, 2009 at 6:11 pm
“I chase cars… and man… if it wasn’t for my boots this classic beauty would’ve got away”
December 16th, 2009 at 6:13 pm
“Aw man, I didn’t think the whole front-end fell off when I hit that pothole, the rest of the car was in perfect condition”
December 16th, 2009 at 6:14 pm
“Man, I hope nobody thinks I actually paid for this thing…”
December 16th, 2009 at 6:19 pm
“…seriously dear, the junk yard was having a door busters only black friday sale… the ad said the views outta the windows were life-like, better than HDTV… think of the money I saved!”
December 16th, 2009 at 8:44 pm
This will look perfect in front of my trailer.
December 17th, 2009 at 8:13 am
Junior, just stop yer squawkin’ and lemme THINK fer a second. Addin’ the 22s won’t be no problem. Shoot, we could go with 24s. It’s findin’ enuff good metal to mount the Lambo doors…that’s my MAIN concern.
December 18th, 2009 at 10:30 am
I just want the trailer, not the camero
December 18th, 2009 at 2:07 pm
Wait, what did I say? I clearly remember telling you the car was “red…ish-gray.” It’s one coat of wax away from Pebble Beach!
December 18th, 2009 at 2:12 pm
“Are you KIDDIN’ ME?…doors would completely RUIN the aesthetics!”
December 18th, 2009 at 4:06 pm
I said I needed a trusty car or a baler, not a rusty car on a trailer!
December 18th, 2009 at 7:45 pm
These new reproduction bodies aren’t as good as I thought.
December 19th, 2009 at 8:21 pm
Well, it might not be pretty, but its sure beats hanging out with the wife at the mall.
December 19th, 2009 at 8:22 pm
Hmm … when he said a hundred I think he meant a “hundred”, not hundred grand. I might have overpayed.
December 19th, 2009 at 8:23 pm
Is cash for clunkers program over with?
December 19th, 2009 at 8:24 pm
Hey man – Its my pile of crap, but I like it.
December 19th, 2009 at 8:26 pm
Well, finally I have gotten myself that prop I wanted for my new film “Operation Desert Storm”.
December 19th, 2009 at 8:27 pm
What’s a difference between a plane and a car …. car takes shorter amount of time to rust.
December 20th, 2009 at 11:05 am
Well, this is the last time I buy a “well kept, just serviced” car off of Flee-Bay
December 20th, 2009 at 11:06 am
Dang, I knew I should never have used a granade as my shift knob.
December 20th, 2009 at 11:06 am
And, ladies and gentlemen – this is the last remaining vehicle from Sadam’s much talked about car collection.
December 20th, 2009 at 11:07 am
Hmm … should I go with the full or the 3″ orbital on this one?
December 20th, 2009 at 11:08 am
Cheap Mustang, Free Shipping.
December 22nd, 2009 at 10:51 am
Mike, It’s a Camaro not a Mustang
December 20th, 2009 at 12:47 pm
“Well, it was either this project, or pay for tatoo removal!”
December 20th, 2009 at 6:23 pm
WEll, at leats insuring this shouldn’t be too bad!
December 20th, 2009 at 6:23 pm
Ahh … nothing Best of Show polish won’t fix.
December 20th, 2009 at 6:24 pm
Ugh … ok …. how do I sell this idea to my wife?
December 20th, 2009 at 11:17 pm
I wonder if the original owner died out with the dinosaurs.
December 21st, 2009 at 11:15 am
“Bondo is a privilege not a rite, kind of like common sense”. Or another would be “I think I left the front half with my brain… Hmm now where are we??” Another “mullets and nose clip not included”
December 20th, 2009 at 11:19 pm
Oh man! I forgit to pick up the other half!
December 20th, 2009 at 11:21 pm
I should have asked the seller to throw in the matching keyfob. Dang!

“Mad Max tribute car? Or another ‘NO HUNTING’ sign for the south 40?”
December 21st, 2009 at 9:23 am
The guy on the phone said it was driven by Mel Gibson. I forgot he was in Mad Max.
December 21st, 2009 at 11:41 am
This will buff right out…now where did I put my Machine Polish 1?
December 21st, 2009 at 3:36 pm
I bought it for the cherry dash pad. I stayed for the Tetanus.
December 21st, 2009 at 5:23 pm
BOB’S PERSONAL AD WENT SOMETHING LIKE THIS – “GENTLE, BUT HURT, TEDDY BEAR OF A TATTOEED MAN, NO JOB, NO SPARE TIME ENTERTAINING THE IDEA OF HEARING FROM 8,9 OR A 10 WHILE I WORK ON A LONG TERM “PROJECT”.
(Come on guys – you know this is the best one!!! ha ha ha)
December 21st, 2009 at 5:23 pm
Well, where the heck did my kids go??!!
December 21st, 2009 at 5:25 pm
Well hey, at least the car fax is clean.
December 21st, 2009 at 10:25 pm
And, after a conversation with his wife – Tiger decided to let go of his car collection.
December 22nd, 2009 at 7:30 am
Wow! I coulda had a V-8!
December 22nd, 2009 at 9:03 am
I should of bought a Mustang, even with the world’s finest car products available, some things can not be fixed… But Griots product can fix almost everything. Perhaps their top notch customers representatives can tell me if there is anything else I can do..
December 22nd, 2009 at 10:02 am
Next time I’m using a ramp next time.
December 22nd, 2009 at 10:08 am
after the initial excitement of winning Earl’s car in the poker game last night, reality set in when it was delivered to Jimbo’s house.
December 22nd, 2009 at 10:12 am
When they told me that adding a Nitrous System would blow the doors off, I thought they meant the competition!
December 23rd, 2009 at 9:42 am
Another great contest! Jason is the big winner of the first-gen 3″ orbital with this gem, “Did I really say I’d rather pull a Chevy than drive a Ford?” When faced with a major overhaul we all have that moment of weakness. Thanks again to everyone for all the great captions. Enjoy your prize Jason! Comments are now closed.
