Florida B.S. Thread

The U.S. government has just passed a new law called:


"The affordable boat act" declaring that every citizen MUST purchase a new boat, by April 2014.


These "affordable" boats will cost an average of $54,000-$155,000 each. This does not include taxes, trailers, towing fees, licensing and registration fees, fuel, docking and storage fees, maintenance or repair costs.


This law has been passed, because until now, typically only wealthy and financially responsible people have been able to purchase boats. This new laws ensures that every American can now have a "affordable" boat of their own, because everyone is "entitled" to a new boat. If you purchase your boat before the end of the year, you will receive 4 "free" life jackets; not including monthly usage fees.


In order to make sure everyone purchases an affordable boat, the costs of owning a boat will increase on average of 250-400% per year. This way, wealthy people will pay more for something that other people don't want or can't afford to maintain. But to be fair, people who cant afford to maintain their boat will be regularly fined and children (under the age of 26) can use their parents boats to party on until they turn 27; then must purchase their own boat.


If you already have a boat, you can keep yours (just kidding; no you can't). If you don't want or don't need a boat, you are required to buy one anyhow. If you refuse to buy one or cant afford one, you will be regularly fined $800 until you purchase one or face imprisonment.


Failure to use the boat will also result in fines. People living in the desert; ghettos; inner cities or areas with no access to lakes are not exempt. Age, motion sickness, experience, knowledge nor lack of desire are acceptable excuses for not using your boat.


A government review board (that doesn't know the difference between the port, starboard or stern of a boat) will decide everything, including; when, where, how often and for what purposes you can use your boat along with how many people can ride your boat and determine if one is too old or healthy enough to be able to use their boat. They will also decide if your boat has out lived its usefulness or if you must purchase specific accessories,(like a $500 compass) or a newer and more expensive boat.


Those that can afford yachts will be required to do so...its only fair. The government will also decide the name for each boat. Failure to comply with these rules will result in fines and possible imprisonment.


Government officials are exempt from this new law. If they want a boat, they and their families can obtain boats free, at the expense of tax payers. Unions, bankers and mega companies with large political affiliations ($$$) are also exempt.

 

Dont spend any more $$ on the taco,,,Coming in 2015 the affordable caddy act. everyone has the right to a new cad

 

i was actually already looking at a couple as daily drivers come next year

 

They can take my taco when they pry my cold dead body out of it! You can take my liberty! You can take my freedom! But you will never force me to drive a gm or a furd!!!

 

haha, man i cant imagine having to drive anything other than my taco.
i cant stand driving the company chevy for more than 10 min without
getting a sick feeling in my gut...

then i barf all over the dash board haha

 

I though the same thing..... Until i drove my ford and now i could never go back to a smaller truck. I still love tacomas but i won't own one again.

 

I'm the opposite. I'd consider getting another YJ or a TJ in addition to my Taco (because I loved my YJ), but I wouldn't have another full size truck unless I had to for towing something big...and then it'd be a diesel Ford.

 

for nam then a black one for K9 And a blue one for J & Colin And for the 4x4 boys... Im old I need a fast one

 

got my new rims today and installed, freaking awesome with the 2" wheel spacers, they stick out like crazy. How should I cut the inner fender well plastic thing at the back end of the front wells, it rubs pretty bad and wasnt sure how to approach cutting it.

EDIT: Here are the pics
Front Left


Front Right (for some reason it doesnt rub all the time and didnt show here, but I do know it rubs)

 

Take a dremel to them with a cutoff wheel.

 

thats what I kinda thought, since I dont have a dremel on me, would a regular old kitchen knife do the trick? I kinda want to do this tonight so I dont have to do it tomorrow, I gotta get a new tire pressure monitor system for my back right wheel tomorrow, ended up snapping off inside the tire after being aired up

 

I used a razor knife.

 

Damnit! Why do I have to get the lower one

 

How much did it cost to get your sensors in the new rims? Did they take them off the old wheels or did you buy new ones??

Also a dremel will do a better job of cutting than a knife.

 

Kitchen knife isn't going to cut it (pun not intended).

 

tacolean, my driver's side rubs but passenger side doesn't

 

more tan

dam sharp one

 

I just used a hacksaw to cut my fender wells worked great
