I didn't ask for your life story, just answer the question!
I'm pretty sure being from NJ gets you a "free visit" and a "bring a friend" pass but you still get charged for parking, for your comfort, of course
What about my in-laws owning a place in Ft Myers Beach? I assumed I earned an occasional forced free visit for that.

FYI: when the wife says “we’re going to my mothers, there’s no choice... we’re going to her mothers.

Did you say in-laws in Ft, Myers?
PFFFT - your in


Wait, you said "own a place" not "lives IN" Your in a gray area my friend. Part Snowbird, part tourist, part resident. All of the crazy of a Floridian, but none of the "know how" to use it at it's fullest potential.

They were snowbirds from 2000-2008. They moved there permanently in ‘08.

Flori DUH, enough said :)
Easy now, I can't be held accountable for for the other guys on here from Florida. They may be very capable human beings and shouldn't be gauged off of me, my posts and/or my actions.

I don't think that particular guy is on here

For the Record: He didn't eat bath salts, he smoked them. He ATE another guys face, or at least took a bite.

I fully understand why you shouldn’t feed them, but I’m a little confused about the second part... what have you guys been doing down there?

I don't know how ya'll do it up there in New Jersey, but down here in Florida, we look down on molestation of ANY kind. I hope that clears your confusion up. Ya know, between gators and YOU, I'm not sure who the animal is

We don’t have gators up here... I’m just wondering how many poor Floridian gators had to get molested before Florida made a law that you’re not allowed to molest them anymore!!

Crossed threads are tight threads.
I once asked where is the nice part of New Jersey. They told me Vermont, keep driving.

Also my EV hunt has been quite disappointing.
Turns out the Chevy bolt is recalled for battery fires. Also they advise charging to 90% max and not letting it get below 30%, which leaves you with 60% of claimed range.

Then I wanted to splurge on this new Kia vr6 gt, but the 576hp version I seek is not released yet.

I might have to settle for a Nissan leaf...for now.

Either that or say eff it and get a hellcat red-eye, suck gas while it's still there. Maybe trade the F150 for a coal roller. Suddenly I sound like me when I was a kid. I had it way more figured out back then. I didn't over think, or much at all.

How about converting a Ranger to electric? Ford sells the Mustang crate motor for $4095. It's 281 hp. More than enough for a Ranger.
