Down here in South Florida the roads are long, straight, and flat. I've enjoyed them with many a gasoline powered toy. My old Yamaha R1 saw 187 mph out on US-27, my GTO has seen 160 out there. Needless to say, I'm lucky to be alive.

All the toys are being sold right now, with the exception of the 95 F-250 (my favorite). I'm moving to Tokyo in March, and I'm giving the old pickup to my mom. I'll be getting a new company car in Japan, I don't expect it to be anything special, other than that the steering wheel will be on the right (wrong) side.

I dont see to much wrong with it as long as you werent indangering other people, thats how we learn right? Build em tough lol. I know i wouldnt be blairing down a highway at 110mph though, not only the worry of a tire failing under high speeds, but the law seeing it happen and giving you a ticket so big you would need a trailor.

Recluse driving is endangering other people. Theres a place for racing and its not a public road from stop light to stop light. Yea i dont see driving down a straight road with no one on it a problem, hell im guilty of it myself more than once in my lifetime. But IMO stop light to stop light aint even racing, more like taking a chance of pissing the wrong person off and something happening becuase of that. Do wut you want just be careful for others!

Yes i got 5 tickets in my mus at 1 time. I got racing on highway, 78 in a 45, wreckless, and tinted windows. I was passing a car, and wasnt racing, really i wasnt. But anyway got out with just the speeding ticket and tint, 5 points which are my 1st, and 328 in fines. Insurance still hasnt gone up yet and that was almost a year ago. I had my truck past the 80 mark on the highway in OD. with 36's i cant make it to 80 now lol. I havent gotten a ticket or drove fast since then.

LOL us young kids just need to get it out of our system. Thank god i didnt have my 95 bronco when i first got my license. I had a lifted 79 bronco with a big block, many times off roading in that thing after school. Untill i couldnt keep gas in it at 8 MPG and carwash money, so i sold that and shared my dads truck to drive to school, 2002 F250 with the V8 and all im gonna say is poor truck. That thing has went through everything imaginable and at the end of the night i would bring it back just how i left it. Kinda bad on my part going behind my dads back, but ive grown up alot. All i can say is find an open field and have a hay day! Literally! Make sure theres no crops in it the the farmers get pissed. lol

I pulled some of the plugs and they seem fine did find on burnt wire, layed on the manifold, and repaced it. helped but still runs like crap. those are new wires and plugs with only about 1000 miles on them but thats not to say that they arent bad. Its burning oil realy bad though, its time for a new one anyway.

Ironicaly the guy I bought it from is who I was racing and he will be helping me with the new motor. He was in the truck I sold him about 3 weeks ago. how about that for bad luck. Hey I did win $10 on a scratch off loto ticket today so maybe my luck is looking up now. I better save it to buy something for the truck though.
