Difference in a Vendo and a VMC....?

     A water line into the livingroom wouldn't be so bad,
it's the drain line to the sewer that is so impractical.

    They convinced me that it was painted red and never had any blue.
Must have been a special order paintjob for some reason.

I think it was completely torn down 20 years ago and was sandblasted, then repainted, then left in the desert to fade for 20 years.

Personally, I don't think it ever left the factory red.

 I'm with Bob on that one. Who's to say some schmuck didn't do exactly what Rick did but 20 years ago?  Pretty arrogant to assume he is the only one that would have torn a machine apart and painted the inside. 
Also thinking maybe someone grafted a Pepsi door onto a Coke machine and painted the door red to match.
