South Florida B.S. Thread

Come out to the lazy springs meet on the 31st

 

Btw- the core charge on the pump was $90, the same cost as a new pump.... Wth

 

So I spoke with all pro and apparently there is a huge back order of there leafs, and I won't get my stuff until after the 27th. And apparently the fox shocks I ordered had a recall because a lot if them were failing. So yay! It'll be over 2 months wait from when I ordered them. I swear I have the worst luck

 

That sucks man! Don't let it frustrate you though. It's not worth it.

 

Hello Folks,

My youngest son (Danny) acquired his Learners Permit this past Monday. He had never driven before Monday. I wanted him to practice in dirt roads 1st before driving on the streets. These videos are of his 3rd day out here.

After practicing 3 point turn-arounds, driving between those tires on the ground in the vid, driving in reverse, & some pavement driving up to 35 MPH to practice reaction times, we decide to return to civilization but not before having a little bit of fun. The next vids are all from my Go-Pro. My wife is riding on the passenger side front seat & I'm in the back seat.

In this video we are on our way out & heading towards Krome Ave.

We were heading out but Danny really liked this part so we returned & he drove it again but a bit faster as you'll see in the next video.

This video is what my truck ended up like after all the driving my son did on the other 4 videos that I previously posted.After this we went to International Mall & there was a huge tent in the parking lot. Under the tent were 2 cars being washed by a company that advertises "Waterless Car Wash". I drove up to them slowly & their eyes were popping out! HAHAHA!

Happy to get my truck dirty:


Happy that he did so well:

 

Dang dude your truck looks HUUGE in that pic!!

 

You sure that's your son pete? He looks nothing like you! hahaha

 

Yeah man! I didn't even realize it until after I took the pic.

He looks so much like me that I had his mom take a DNA test because I doubted her involvement! HAHAHA!

 

So when is the next south Florida meet? I've been itching to do something.

 

Hey man! Nice to hear from you.

There's Lazy Springs on August 31 in La Belle, Fl. It's far though. 2 hours nw of Miami. It would be awesome if you could go though.

I'm sure we'll do another "Hump" meet later on.

 

Haha, yea been working some crazy hrs and I can't access TW at work sadly...As for that meet I can't make it. I work early the next day and a 5+ hr drive is a no go. I'll be creeping around looking for the next meet at the hump. Should have my new rims on the truck by then too. Ordered a set of the new SCS SR8 matte blacks that come in this week.

 

Dude those rims are going to be sick! Post pics ASAP!

 

Will do, I even got some TRD center caps incase I feel the rim needs some contrast.

 

Yes. Looking forward to this.

Sounds like a good idea.

 

Dam sucks you can't make it.

Hey tac1 I'll be riding up with Ozman to lazy springs.
He'll be passing right by my house on the way up anyway

 

OK Nick. Sounds good.

 

Normally I would be all over it, but its a holiday weekend for us retail guys

next time fo sho

 

This thread lives...

I drove my truck yesterday for the first time in what was actually three weeks. It was the first time I drove the truck because I genuinely felt bad that I hadn't driven it. I have this stupid work car and for now I dont have room for the truck Its been sitting in my aunts garage just collecting dust. I cant turn down the free gas that comes with the company car though. I've driven almost 3000mi in the last month just because I don't care about the gas money. Hopefully I will be getting the gas card for my truck and an acceptable vehicle allowance so that I can get rid of this work car and just drive my truck around. It will be soo sweet if it works out.

I would have driven it for you to keep the oil flowing
