I’ve towed a Chittum from the Keys back to Texas up 75 north of Miami and Houston traffic was the worst. I despise that place. The other time I towed one back from Palm City and same thing…Houston traffic gave me a new ulcer. That Florida traffic is something special though, not discounting how crazy people drive there but if you haven’t driven in Houston you should give it a try some time.

Palm city is the boonies around here you want the madness it’s a Miami-Dade thing. You can literally feel it as you cross into dade county. I75 is easy peasy 😜

I purposely bypassed that Miami bullshit. I was in it about 5 years ago and made me never want to go back to that quadrant of Florida…

You should come up here to the 100mph cars racing on I-20 and 285 during the day and night. I drive 75 mph in the 70 zone but almost blown off the road by way faster 80 and 90 cars coming by
We saw three racing going over 100 this afternoon coming back from Atlanta where we had brunch at The Whitehouse restaurant and my wife did some shopping while I napped in the truck

You ever seen a five ton diesel SUV on 35” rubber doing 110? I saw you in my rear view mirror on my way through a while back ole son!

This thread needs Ray Charles' "America the Beautiful" playing in the background.

Ray Charles... coming back from my "senior trip" in 1971 his songs were one of the things that would get me thinking.... For those not aware - back then, servicemen snuck back in-country - and you didn't want to tell any one where you'd been - or what you'd been up to... I was in Miami, where I'd never been before, enrolled in school 3 days after leaving the war... Quite a change - and I was never a combat type at all...

The ones y’all have posted pictures of are nothing. I have an 06 z71 Tahoe, all stock I proudly claim, and I’ve seen them here in lower Alabama where I’ve almost been hit in parking lots because these idiots can’t see over the hood.

I assumed they were still saving pennies to afford the other half of their lift kit.....

Every Area has their name in front of the "Squat" or "Lean". It's absolutely the most liberal thing I have ever seen! And by liberal, I mean dumbest because liberals are dumb.

stop hating on the Tenessee Tilt!

No, Tennessee does not claim this foolishness. Now, we do claim lifting or lowering anything possible but we decline having our fine state's name associated with the vehicular equivalent of skipping leg day.

THE TENNESSEE FRICKEN TILT!!! OH MAN!!! That's a good one!

When I posted this you can see he had madfootagetv. Com on all the windows. I went there and was not surprised

If you live in a place to use a jacked up Jeep or truck then fine but these lifted $150k jeeps in Miami | Ft. Lauderdale have to drive 5 hours north just to get to a place to use it.

I saw a tundra with a snorkel the other day but hey at least the city streets do flood here.

Skimmed this thread and thought of what I actually face any time I'm running a night trip - and towing my old skiff home well after midnight (some nights closer to dawn than midnight... ). Up onto I-95 northbound at 81st Street - then try to make it home without incident. At that time of night any day of the week folks are playing chicken in every sort of vehicle - more than one "cracking a ton" (running at 100mph or higher) - passing on all sides of me - nothing like Miami late at night on the big road with all would be Road Warriors around... Some of them seem intent on not being late for their own funeral - and me running at a steady pace - holding my breath until I can get off I-95.. . and of course no law enforcement anywhere to be seen...

Since my teenage years were spent in north Alabama I've seen (and actually ridden in a few) *** race cars way back in the sixties - some with such strong engines that you could pull the front end of the old 55 Chevy off the ground from a standing start.... One of them actually had Chase and Sanborn mufflers (large coffee cans..) and the seating inside - lawn chairs un-secured). In my youth there were actual moonshiners still delivering the goods in specially set up hot cars (when empty the rear end looked to be three feet above where it should have been... ) but all of that was long ago for me. Nothing, repeat nothing compares to I-95 north of Miami late late at night... Heck late at night some of the idiots I've seen are actually running in cars that look like what you'd see at a European Grand Prix - or an old episode of Miami Vice..

Huntsville speedway (Pat Gray), souths fastest quarter mile track (at the time), modified and sportsman classes, intense competition, only drove two races, was better with the wrenches in the pit.
After the races, it was the IHOP. for pancakes and waffles. My, how things have changed.

 

[lemaymiami]

Huntsville was the closest thing I ever had to a hometown (I was an Army brat - we moved around a lot before we finally settled there when I was 12 years old in 1960). As a teenager there in the 60's I never went to the Speedway but we managed to do a bit racing late at night (pretty suicidal actually). I never raced down a mountain with lights out in a pickup truck - or got out on a deserted highway and raced against a Dodge dragster sporting a full Hemi, running straight off the headers, with a tied down suspension - no not me... but I might have been a passenger...

That was a time when guys my age were obligated to do stupid things with their cars - while riding around drinking... Most of us survived - then along came Vietnam.. It was a time that's long gone - but I guess every generation has to have stupid stuff for young men to do...

I can make some "Locally Retarded" Vinyl stickers if anyone wants to buy them to put on vehicles that are squatted... They will be small so you can put them on bumpers inconspicuously...
