Just got back from Florida...
 
Florida is absolutely amazing. I spent this past week down in Ft. Myers with my college's habitat for humanity chapter. We worked on building 2 homes during the day and spent the rest of the time on the beach!

FYI, Florida has no lift laws for trucks. 85% of all pickups were lifted, and i dont mean 5-6". I mean like 12-14" sitting on 44" tires; mostly F250's and dodges. Also, I saw a few state police LS1's and a few marauders.

Overall, this was a great trip. If anyone is thinking about going down to florida, i highly recommend it!

dont get me wrong, I dont mind a long ride, especially going south. there are some very nice scenes to take in on those long journeys :)

I just wasnt sure curt would drive all the way down there and back in his blazer. :shrug:

When we drove from here to Sarasota it was about 1275 miles and we made it in 16 hours and 45 minutes. door to door, including stop for restroom/gas.

florida...i tried that 2 years ago in my SS, on the third attempt i finally made it past exit 9 on the turnpike, but right after a 18 wheeler blew a tire in front of my and it hit me, tearing open my y pipe...then on the way home the cords were coming out of my tires and i had to use a donut to get home from richmond VA..... evil florida...

Koll 03-06-2006 08:53 AM

We have a place in Titusville.

curt86iroc 03-06-2006 07:31 PM

whoa whoa whoa. we did not fly to ft myers. we took a plane into ft lauderdale and rented 5 cars. and yes, there were a ton of off roading spots. i wish i had the blazer down there.

Ian 03-06-2006 07:39 PM

what kind of car did you all rent? anything cool?

ProtekYoNutz 03-06-2006 08:39 PM

Ill be in florida on the 10th :lol: soooooo need a break!

curt86iroc 03-06-2006 08:43 PM

we had 2 plymoth voyagers, a ford windstar, a chevy venture and a malibu. i was responsible for driving 6 girls around in the windstar :) woot!

Let me say, the windstar held up very well in the rough terrain...:evil:

minivan off roading should be a sport as well as an art.

Ian 03-06-2006 10:41 PM

BigAls87Z28 03-08-2006 10:49 AM
