Currently I'm split between saving up more & paying for a newer Tacoma or getting an older toyota for a street legal trail toy. Both have their pros & cons

Better goon gets it mista

 

As a matter of fact I do. A handful of them. Had a blast singing songs in my Navy uniform all over the world while drinkin' to the foam with Davey Jones...

 

post a couple you Scallywag

 

Really thinking about going this route

 

you should have gotten the one I posted a while back

 

Yea I was the same way man didn't destroy it but didn't appreciate my parents till I got a job and made my own money

 

You're a man that would appreciate some sound Navy history. I was a BT (boiler technician).
Here's a link with a tidbit of an explanation of what I did in the Navy. Followed by our lament. A song you ask? Well, next time we're enjoying a frosty brew by the campfire I'll teach you a salty snipe's song.

SNIPE'S LAMENT

Now each of us from time to time has gazed upon the sea
and watched the mighty warships pulling out to keep this country free.
And most of us have read a book or heard a lusty tale,
about these men who sail these ships through lightning, wind and hail.
But there's a place within each ship that legend's fail to teach.
It's down below the water-line and it takes a living toll
- - a hot metal living hell, that sailors call the "Hole."
It houses engines run with steam that makes the shafts go round.
A place of fire, noise, and heat that beats your spirits down.
Where boilers like a hellish heart, with blood of angry steam,
are molded gods without remorse, are nightmares in a dream.
Whose threat from the fires roar, is like a living doubt,
that at any moment with such scorn, might escape and crush you out.
Where turbines scream like tortured souls, alone and lost in Hell,
are ordered from above somewhere, they answer every bell.
The men who keep the fires lit and make the engines run,
are strangers to the light and rarely see the sun.
They have no time for man or God, no tolerance for fear,
their aspect pays no living thing a tribute of a tear.
For there's not much that men can do that these men haven't done,
beneath the decks, deep in the hole, to make the engines run.
And every hour of every day they keep the watch in Hell,
for if the fires ever fail their ship's a useless shell.
When ships converge to have a war upon an angry sea,
the men below just grimly smile at what their fate will be.
They're locked below like men fore-doomed, who hear no battle cry,
it's well assumed that if they're hit men below will die.
For every day's a war down there when gauges all read red,
twelve-hundred pounds of heated steam can kill you mighty dead.
So if you ever write their songs or try to tell their tale,
the very words would make you hear a fired furnace's wail.
And people as a general rule don't hear of these men of steel,
so little heard about this place that sailors call the "Hole."
But I can sing about this place and try to make you see,
the hardened life of the men down there, 'cause one of them is me.
I've seen these sweat-soaked heroes fight in superheated air,
to keep their ship alive and right, though no one knows they're there.

And thus they'll fight for ages on till warships sail no more,
amid the boiler's mighty heat and the turbine's hellish roar.
So when you see a ship pull out to meet a war-like foe,
remember faintly if you can, "The Men Who Sail Below."

 

Haha buy the suspension off my truck and I'll go get Blue book for my truck stock

 

That's gonna run you a grip on labor considering you're not much of a mechanic and refuse to ask us to help you install the lift you have for your current rig.

 

Awesome

 

He should get a 2nd gen RC me thinks

 

Watch out for the tax man. His dick is long and his lube isn't.

 

He's too young to know what that's from....

 

Just not the right time for me...... me & my damn saving attitude

Oh I'll definately be in attendance at mod days if I get that rig , for now I'm still too modest to ask for help

I've thought about it , seen some pretty cool ones

Shhhh cash.... he'll never know . 20% for taxes off minimum wage sucks, I'll definately be working gig jobs for a lil while until increase my knowledge & make myself more valuable to a company so I can have a higher than min wage job

 

Absolfuckinlutely

 

Walk that line carefully my friend. It hurts to get burnt. I'm dealing with that shit right meow.

 

Appreciate it, it's all good. When I had my actual part time jobs I never made enough money to even get taxed so the government has no reason to check up on me
