  1. Hey I lived down there for 30yrs, I did move out a couple of yeas ago up near gainseville. The town I live in now has less people in it then the neighborhood I lived in down there and I still cant get use to.
  2. BTDT when we use to party in the feilds at night down there a long time ago
  3. Thank got we dont have front plates in Fl. i like the way my truck looks w/out it. I know here in Fl you will get pulled over for the tag being in the back window insted of where its suppose to be, I'm sure they probably have the same law for the front.
  4. 1. Turn signals will give away your next move. A confident Miami driver avoids using them. 2. Under no circumstance should you maintain a safe distance between you and the car in front of you, because the space will be filled in by someone else, putting you in an even more dangerous situation. 3. The faster you drive through a red light, the less chance you have of getting hit. 4. WARNING! Never come to a complete stop at a stop sign. No expects it and it will result in your being rear-ended 5. Never get in the way of an older car that needs extensive bodywork, especially with CANADA, NY or MICHIGAN plates. With no insurance, the other operator probably has nothing to lose. 6. Braking is to be done as hard and late as possible to ensure that your ABS kicks in, giving a vigorous foot massage as the brake pedal violently pulsates. For those of you without ABS, it's a chance to strengthen your leg muscles. 7. Never pass on the left when you can pass on the right. It's a good way to prepare other drivers entering the highway. 8. Speed limits are arbitrary figures; given only as a suggestion and are not enforceable during rush hour. 9. Just because you're in the left lane and have no room to speed up or move over doesn't mean that a driver flashing his high beams behind you can go faster in your spot. 10. Always brake and rubberneck when you see an accident or even someone changing a tire. This is seen as a sign of respect for the victim. 11. Learn to swerve abruptly without signaling. Florida is the home of high-speed slalom-driving thanks to the Department of Public Works, which puts potholes in key locations to test drivers' reflexes and keep them alert. 12. It is tradition to honk your horn at cars in front of you that do not move three milliseconds after the light turns green. 13. To avoid injury in the event of a collision or rollover, it is important for you to exit your vehicle through the windshield right away. Wearing your seat-belt will only impede your hi-velocity escape from danger. 14. Remember that the goal of every Miami driver is to get ahead of the pack by whatever means necessary. 15. In Miami, 'flipping the bird' is considered a polite salute. This gesture should always be returned. I lived in Miami for 30yrs and this is so true
  5. A driver is pulled over by a policeman: Man: Is there a problem Officer? Officer: Sir, you were speeding. Man: Oh I see. Officer: Can I see your licence please? Man: I'd give it to you but I don't have one. Officer: Don't have one? Man: Lost it 4 times for drink driving. Officer: I see...Can I see your vehicle registration papers please. Man: I can't do that. Officer: Why not? Man: I stole this car. Officer: Stole it? Man: Yes, and I killed the owner. Officer: You what? Man: She's in the trunk if you want to see. The Officer looks at the man and slowly backs away to his car and calls for back up. Within minutes 5 police cars circle the car. A senior officer slowly approaches the car, clasping his half drawn gun. Officer2: Sir, could you step out of your vehicle please! The man steps out of his vehicle. Man: Is there a problem sir? Officer2: One of my officers told me that you have stolen this car and murdered the owner. Man: Murdered the owner? Officer2: Yes, could you please open the trunk of your car please. The man opens the trunk, revealing nothing but an empty trunk. Officer2: Is this your car sir? Man: Yes, here are the registration papers. The officer is quite stunned. Officer2: One of my officers claims that you do not have a driving licence. The man digs in his pocket revealing a wallet and hands it to the officer. The officer opens the wallet and examines the licence. He looks quite puzzled. Officer2: Thank you sir, one of my officers told me you didn't have a licence, stole this car and murdered the owner. Man: Bet you the lying bastard told you I was speeding, too!
  6. There's a setting in the radio to turn it off, it should be in you owners manual. I cant remember the way to do it.
  7. I feel ya, I noticed a big difference when he did my pcm
  8. Like I have said before, some people should not be allowed to touch a vehicle
  9. Thats actually were I went, its not bad but I wasnt paying attention and went the the wrong way. I didn't get stuck but it got a little hairy. If you want to go just let me know its pretty fun out there. Look at the pic thats the bridge at the inlet.
  10. Ya I'd say thats a bad day
  11. The way you have the power and ground hooked up, you should have no problem with the truck on or off. I dont see anything that would make it buzz, the system (relays and solenoids) are on or off, they are not pulse width modulated like a trans pressure control solenoid. I would try NX again that does not sound right to me.
  12. It gets cold enough oyu dont want to be in the water There was a day or 2 it hit 28*
  13. Just posted a pic from the beach yesterday. Man I'm glad winter is over Yes the # on the window was from the track
  14. That is F-ing I saw on collegehumor.com some guys were playing practicle jokes on people sleeping in the dorm and walk into one guys room they thought was sleeping taped him playing with his self looking at porn on the net Just go to show you, ya gotta be careful
  15. I drive on the beach all the time too, just this time I hit a real soft spot and lower air pressure would not have helped most of the beach is hard packed sand this was sand with crushed shells and does not pack, you just sink in it. I usually dont go thru it but I was going around some trucks parked there.
  16. I dont know what TPS set up you have, but the only time I have seen a relay or solenoid buzz is 1-its bad and 2-there is a power or ground problem.
  17. I think it might tuck under the hood of the SS a little better
  18. I know the stock crank can handle quite a bit. Personally, I wanted forged everything. I even looked at doing a forged stock crank. The problem there was that it was only about $100 cheaper to go with a stock crank over a stroker. I would say you'd probably be okay. I would get my block boiled and new main bearings put in though. Full stroker assy is $2k. That's rods, pistons, crank, and balancing. <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
  19. The one on the left is 100% hotter ... but there was nothing like that in ANY of my classes. <---- jealous <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I dont remember any of them being that hot when I was getting my BS in business mgnt, but I would not have been able to take them out, anyways I dont think my g/f at the time would have liked it
  20. Finally got to take my ski to the beach yesterday . Most of the beach is hard packed, but where they let you drop the ski's is at the end near the inlet to the intercoastal and it get pretty soft, you need 4WD to get through it. I have gone thru with no problem bofore, I was leaving and trying to get thru the others trucks parked there and hit a real soft area. My ski was dragging thru the sand, the axle was under the sand. My truck was getting burried up to the body, all 4 wheel were spinning . Does not help I need to get my new tires put either , luckily my dad was there to with his Z71 Tahoe, we hooked the ski up to his truck and I got out. Street tires do not work good in real soft sand
