Just got back from Florida...

Florida is absolutely amazing. I spent this past week down in Ft. Myers with my college's habitat for humanity chapter. We worked on building 2 homes during the day and spent the rest of the time on the beach!

FYI, Florida has no lift laws for trucks. 85% of all pickups were lifted, and i dont mean 5-6". I mean like 12-14" sitting on 44" tires; mostly F250's and dodges. Also, I saw a few state police LS1's and a few marauders.

Overall, this was a great trip. If anyone is thinking about going down to florida, i highly recommend it!

dont get me wrong, I dont mind a long ride, especially going south. there are some very nice scenes to take in on those long journeys

I just wasnt sure curt would drive all the way down there and back in his blazer.

we had 2 plymoth voyagers, a ford windstar, a chevy venture and a malibu. i was responsible for driving 6 girls around in the windstar woot!

Let me say, the windstar held up very well in the rough terrain...

minivan off roading should be a sport as well as an art.
