In FL you aren't driving a truck unless it's got mud terrains on it. And then come in to the shop and bitch and demand a precision balance and new shocks because they ride rough.

If you have (even a part time) place in Florida and can claim residency there it makes sense to do so from a tax standpoint as well as a vehicle registration/(non)inspection standpoint compared to most states on the eastern seaboard.

Depends on the state you live in. I own a house in Florida but since I don't live there Connecticut would fine me $1000 for driving around on FL plates. If I did spend time at that house it would have to be for more than 6 months a year.

I forgot imperial gallons even existed. Still, 47mpg is quite good. this thread is becoming dangerously picture free, so here's a picture that popped up on my facebook this morning.  a '57 Volvo TP21 from the Swedish military... that is stock ride height and I believe stock tires. He is selling it for $10k in my state, well restored ones go for 40k. It's #621 of 720 made. When I first saw it I assumed it was a heavy OTR truck hood and grille grafted onto a 50s passenger car. Nope, 100% stock.

I had an 87 Bronco II back in the mid-90s. The real Bronco is a much superior vehicle. Kinda like Mustang VS. Mustang II.

Saw a couple of nice things out today... Classic hot rod here  The sign said the engine was from '49, the paint was all original or at least very old. I actually took this photo in 3d on my phone and it's the most amazing thing ever to look at.  Nice houndstooth in this Camaro.

That actually won the 2008 Ridler award at the Detroit Autorama that year. I think it was one of Hot Rod Magazine's top 10 cars of the year, too.

This guy was there with tin snips taking 1/8" off the bottom to get into compliance (you can see one of the pieces he just cut off to his left). What a terrible job to have.
