I was at the playpen one night carrying a drunken woman who was 45...does that count?  Oh, and I was packing ...oh never mind...

That's how it all begin's!

Luckily you shot blanks!

I just did this.

It has to be pressed in.  Suggest upgrading to a greasable ball joint. Ford factory are sealed.
If you going to replace the bushings on the lower arms, then you get to run into a whole nother problem.

I agree. I run 2.5's and 70/60's on my past and present "projects"
Was just suggesting, for the light weight 9" and 44, is a good combo for just a woods cruiser.

Looks great!  For a simple woods jeep, consider replacing the running gear with some 1/2 ford front and rear.

Little less Snap Crackle POP! when you finally have to spin those tires.

Ive tried to look at it from both sides, and believe that a little respect could go a long way.

Yep, sadly it might be a little to late for that.  The US doesn't get much respect from a lot of the illegal population.

But I agree with your thinking.

All this is why we have to be careful on who we vote for the up coming presidency!

I see no Democrat candidate that wants to even slightly outlaw sanctuary cities, and only a handful of republicans.

Here is the immigration report card for our candidates!

You know,,,,, Fred Thompson is officially running for Pres.    wink wink    The last actor in office did pretty good.

And his wife is hot!

Just got down there, get face to face with them and ask for the remainder of your check and/or explaination for the half check.

Bronson, I find it hard to believe that you living in Polk county do not know anyone whos is an RR owner.
Please do the research and use the property under the proper circumstances.
Sneeking through peoples backyards just destroys what people work hard to preserve.

looks good...

Speaking of FWC.

I thought this was funny.  I was driving south on the Turnpike (South Florida) and saw a new Ford Expedition in all the FWC apparel.  What stood out was in big white letters on the back window was "THIS WAS SEIZED IN HENDRY COUNTY FROM ILLEGAL TURKEY HUNTERS"

I got a good laugh at that..

It would sure suck for the Pats if the Dolphins beat them and ruin their winning streak!

But would it stop/or slow down the sneaky tatics of developers from doing things like the city of "Destiny"?  40000 homes at Yeehaw junction?

I agree it sounds extreme, but the only people that are fighting against it are the large developer groups, and US sugar.

Good article in the Herald the other day from Carl Hiaasen.



Land-use initiative facing sneaky tactics

By CARL HIAASEN
You can be sure you're on the right side of an issue if John Thrasher is on the other.

The former Florida House speaker and big-shot lawyer-lobbyist has sent out a mass-mailing to scare voters into removing their signatures from a statewide petition in favor of the ''Florida Hometown Democracy'' amendment.

The Hometown Democracy initiative would let citizens vote to approve or reject major changes to the comprehensive land-use plans in their counties or cities. For the first time, Floridians would have some direct control over how their communities grow.

Thrasher's deceptive and slimy letter is proof of the panic that has set in among those who've made a fortune raping the state and are afraid of losing their sweet ride.

The lobbyist ominously warns that, if the Hometown Democracy amendment passes, ''special interests'' will triumph and ''Big Developers'' will wreck Florida's ``scenic beauty.''

Like it's not happening now?

Special interests already manipulate many county and city commissions -- not to mention the Legislature -- while Florida's green space continues to disappear under bulldozers at the rate of hundreds of acres per day.

What Thrasher neglects to reveal in his fright mailing is that big developers and landholders are the ones most frantically opposed to the Hometown Democracy movement, and that he himself represents some of the biggest, including the St. Joe Co., which is currently selling off the Panhandle.

He says that allowing the voters to decide whether they want a new megamall or condo tower down the street could stifle growth and cause taxes to go up -- another cynical fiction designed to frighten middle-class workers and the elderly.

What really causes taxes to soar is the need for increased services due to overdevelopment and overcrowding. Bad planning means that the public ends up paying dearly and repeatedly for more roads, fire stations, police patrols, water-treatment plants and schools.

Lots of folks in Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties will tell you that runaway growth has done nothing but push up their tax bills and diminish the quality of their family's lives.

All over the state, Floridians are disgusted by the failure of their elected officials to do restrained, responsible planning. That's why the Hometown Democracy petition has momentum.

While it might not be the perfect answer to derailing the engine of manic greed that's ruining so many lovely places, many residents are so heartsick and frustrated that they would welcome a dramatic change.

According to the website, www.hometowndemocracy.com, petition supporters have collected about 331,000 verified signatures of the 611,009 needed to place the amendment on the November 2008 ballot.

Thousands more signatures are awaiting validation. The deadline for signing is Feb. 1, only four months away, which has lent urgency to the opposition's propaganda blitz.

Nothing is so horrifying to some developers and corporate interests as the prospect of having to deal directly with citizens when trying to get a building project passed. It's much easier to woo politicians, whose loyalties often can be purchased with a hefty campaign contribution or (as in recent cases in Palm Beach County) outright bribes.

That's the way things have always worked in Florida, which explains the plague of ugly sprawl. The Hometown Democracy petition would throw a wrench in that whole cozy, corruptible process.

Predictably, opponents grandiosely calling themselves Floridians for Smarter Growth have cooked up a rival constitutional amendment that would require 10 percent of voters in a city or county to sign a petition, before any land-use referendum takes place.

The petitions could be signed only at the office of a municipal clerk or elections supervisor, an inconvenience that virtually guarantees a fatally low turnout.

Obviously, the forces behind Floridians for Smarter Growth aren't interested in participatory democracy. They want the public to shut up and let the politicians do their thing.

According to The Sun-Sentinel, the group raised $841,000 between April and August. Major donors included the National Association of Home Builders, the Florida Chamber of Commerce and U.S. Sugar.

It's a motley roster of special interests whose motives are anything but pure.

The Hometown Democracy movement undoubtedly was the prime target when pro-development legislators passed a law allowing voters to revoke their signatures from amendment petitions.

That opened the door for John Thrasher's specious letter pretending to denounce the very developers for whom he's shilling. In urging citizens to abandon the Hometown Democracy campaign, he blames ''slick lawyers'' for tricking them into putting their names on the petition.

Thrasher himself is one of the slickest lawyers in Tallahassee, and it is he who has stooped to shameless trickery.

His scare letter comes with a postage-paid envelope. Mail it back with the two-word reply of your choice.

went to 8th street today.. still real flooded, but didn't have a problem getting through.  As i was leaving there were morons by the street with the ambulance.  Some kid had some bandages on his arm. those are the people that thingy around and get those places shut down

Yup.

He went swimming on the Joe Cool.

That was Bad...

Speaking for myself; Never had any problems there.  Just dont be an idiot and ride on 8st or up and down the pave roads.
Head back to the lake and start riding.

Oh and dont ride your bike covered in mud to the BBQ pit restaraunt they don't like that.

8st in West Miami, is totally different than the Squares

The Squares were located west on 41 closer to Naples.  They are off-limits to ride on.


The videos above are at 8st or Tamiami trail and Krome Ave (8st and 177ave)

from what i heard, is that the owner was on a limited lease, the govener was there maybe there 3 weeks ago and gave the owner an unlimited lease for the land because he saw what an improvement this track made on the streets and soon you will see grand  stands and permant buildings as a result of this, as before he was on a limited lease which he didn't want to build on the land and have it go away in a few months, but agian this is just what i heard

Myabe I'm confused, but how could the governor approve an "unlimited" lease, when the land is not even owned by Florida.  It is part of the white rock mining company I believe. 

the squares/bad luck  are closer to naples than Miami.

Gotta remember, the people running the track do not own the land.  The track is temporary till it becomes of the next rock quarry.
All this land will be dug up.

Its also, kinda like a test idea to see how Dade county would react to its own track.

I'm sure there are people with more information on this than I have.

There have been a few more dumped there over the last few months.  There was a new one dumped at the Hump a few weeks ago too. 

You know, you could fill a junkyard with all the stolen cars in just c-14 alone. I can't imagine how many are in the rim canal of US-27, but considering a 53' truck and trailer sat in it with a driver for three months undetected I bet you could stack them and nearly reach the moon.

Many Many years ago, My Brother and I got a 28ft Midnight Express hull that was dumped on the Bird Road side enterance.
the floors were cut open, I imagine to remove the drugs or cubans and the motors were missing.  Other than that it was in perfect shape.

We had it registered as a home built title, fixed it up a bit and sold it.

My 6mb DSL from AT&T seems to work just fine.  its a constant 5.9-6mb down speed and cost me $37 a month.

I'm not complaining

Yeah, Ricky.. YOu should try and go.. I am curious on what they are claiming is being restored in that area.

Restoring the ground for more houses?  Maybe to let the indians expand their casino..
