LoL @ Bruce

So my pain has been increasing even though the mobility has kind of improved. .. kinda. So today, I'm doing laundry when someone knocks on the door. So I limp my poor ass up the stairs like the fat out of shape piece of crap I am.

I'm yelling at the dog, they must hear me. Anyway, its a fed x person leaving. Due to a fight on the phone with the wife I feel more motivated than normal slap om some birkenstocks and hustle after.

BAM! Ass over tea kettle and doing the splits. With my fucked up knee into the driveway. I get to watch the FedEx van pull away as I swear and cry to myself. I'm sure the daycare loves me next door.

I get in and continue my laundry and toss in my track pants. About 5 min late my leg is still soaked. WTF right?

Wipe it off and my leg is soaked in blood. I landed on a patch of psoriasis and it just split.

Pissed off wife, blood er'y where, back is tweaked. I won't sledp without muscle relaxers for a few days.

I gave in. Called the rheumatologist for pain meds. My tolerance is on edge.

Buy a case of Boudreaux's butt paste.

One of those redneck inventions that works on everything. The old man owned a pharmacy down this way.

My fat cat is on a managed food plan. The skinny one is not. So I have to keep the fat cat from getting to the skinny cats food.

Well fatty jumped up and was eating slims food. Perfect. I can unleash my fury on him. I catch him and hunt him down.

Before I can get him to the place where we have slims food his just pisses all over in fear.

Now I am more mad and no cat beating joy. So I am sitting down cleaning off my foot getting ready to mop and my dog just looks at me and starts licking my leg like he knows I'm pissed off and wants to help.

Best friend ever. I need to buy him a whole gaggle of bitches.

 

 

Pretty crappy situation, but I have to laugh at this.  

 

Go get on some drugs, some GOOD drugs.

Had a good ride today. Rode with my buddy in the morning, and my son in the afternoon.

Well... I'm just piss because I hate prednisone. I become a bitchy queen. Like they gayest guy you ever saw mixed with a 8.9 month pregnant woman in 110 humid weather with no AC. She also wants a snack. Then you start getting to how bitchy I get.

If it helps with pain, I will probably be happy though.

I would kill for your dunes. I have watched a lot of dune riding vids and it looks like a blast.

 

And this is my back yard.

Tuned in for responses. I really want to grab them to mess around with, but I like you don't know much about them.

Sean I know you covered this but why is the Tundra off the list? Can tow over 10k, has pretty damn good acceleration stock, supercharger available without voiding the warranty, comfortable interior, and handles very very well. I know it doesn't have the push button from the factory but what else kills it for you?

 

 

 

J

Because everything you listed is subjective except the towing numbers and the warranty. Guarenteed Sean won't agree with most of these points.

 

My ML doesn't handle very very well btw. Sure as shit the Tundra handles like a turd, only question is if it is fixable without complete custom parts.

 

 

 

Looking SPECIFICALLY in the pick up truck market, and stock not after 5k of suspension upgrades, what have you found that handled better? I ask because IMHO its smoother and more nimble than anything Dodge, chevy, or Ford has come out with in years.

 

 

 

 

J

 

I already said I haven't driven one, but am also sure it handles like a turd. The only full size stock truck I've driven that does handle is my Uncles SRT10. It's a dodge and I am sure it'll make the Tundra feel like it handles like crap. I'd also bet the SS Chevy will too, which is sad because it's equally a turd in the handling spectra.

Making big behemoths handle is silly, absurd, dumb, and ridiculous. Exactly why I want to do it.

 

 

Well both are vehicles with speed in mind, not other shit. I hope you do drive one just for shits and giggles.

The sound rolls up the dash. When installed correctly they do not sound like they are mounted low.

It's really not hard. They need to mount as wide as possible ie as far to the outside as possible. Also, mounting them as far back towards the firewall as possible. Without sounding like a salesman, they are awesome drivers. My problem is other priorities and no time in my life for car audio in the foreseeable future.
