I had fun with y'all but....

[TheGTkid]

Hey guys!
It has been a minute or so since I have posted or been on
I no longer drive an Explorer /:
I had a great time driving mine and I will definitely get another one for sure.
This site has saved me loads of cash, time, and has given me a laugh or two

I will certainly miss driving my explorer too!

 

[BigRondo]

Good luck to you sir!

Do you walk now, or do you have a new ride?

 

[SgKukov]

Do you walk now, or do you have a new ride?

Thats a redundant question. If he's not driving his explo he can ONLY be walking

Just for curiosity sake, what happened to your Explorer? Did you sell it or total it out in a crash or something else?

Currently driving the worst thing in the world
chevy 1500
i hate it
i hate chevy
i just hate it
the only thing on the dash that works is the check engine light and the tach
the thing doesnt need a key to start, not even a screwdriver... you just roll the ignition over and she fires up
it sounds like someone shot it with 12 gauge bird shot because of all the air leaks in it
the tailgate has to be held up by ratchet straps
the tires arent good on it
the only thing nice on this thing is the daggone wheels
17" chevy wheels look good
the speakers are blown
the seat cushion is so blown you sit 3 inches lower than you should
the center console doesnt open
i miss my explorer to death
shes not totaled, nothing like that, i would never sell it.. heres the story
the thing is my mom and i argued, the explorer is in her name and she came to demand her house key and garage door opener
so i gave her the car too, she might report it stolen and i dont want to be in trouble for that
im looking for a 93 or newer ranger with a 5 speed, 4wd optional, doesnt need to have it, i only have 1200 dollars though
will update in a month
happy exploring to all!

Having a beat up Chevy 1500 wheels under your butt, is better than having no wheels or bicycle wheels under your butt right? Many of us drove roached out vehicles when we were your age due to lack of money for a nicer vehicle, but you make do with what you have.

You probably don't want to hear this, but when you live with your parents and they hold the title to your vehicle, you have to be on your best behavior around them. Give your mother a chance to cool down then maybe apologize to her for the argument and maybe she'll give you your Explorer back in time. Least you know where it is and it's in safe hands. Mothers Day is just around the corner, maybe do something nice for her, it wouldn't hurt the current situation. Moms tend to be forgiving.
You should consider yourself lucky that your parents put your vehicle in their name, which comes with cheaper insurance rates for you at your age had you gotten insurance yourself. My father wouldn't do that for me when I started driving nor did he ever help me pay for a vehicle. I bought my own vehicle with my own money I saved up from my grocery store job ( earned $2.30 per hr back then) and paid for my own insurance from age 17 on. Be grateful that your mother did that for you.

Good luck with the Ranger search and good luck getting your Explorer back.

I appreciate having a beat chevy to move me around town, but i really took care of the explorer, respected it, took care of it... all that
now her boyfriend is driving it, the guy who caused her divorce, the guy who made her best friend run away from her, and now her oldest son
i hate the guy
hes just a lot of words I wish i could say
hope its worth it to her
i moved out

Good for you! Eyes straight ahead, stay focused, forget the past. You'll make it just fine.

Now that isn't right, your mothers new boyfriend driving your Explorer around, that's BS! :thumbdwn: I have absolutely no respect for people who cheat while in a relationship and the guy is a scum bag for messing around with a married woman. Sorry to hear about the family drama you are going through. Keep your chin up and good luck in finding a nicer vehicle.

If you get it I have the EGR from my ex that you can have if it'll bolt up. I'm in central FL, Tampa bay to be more specific. Hit me up if you make it down here.

Michigan is nice and all, but Florida has bikinis....

 

[Exproblems]

Michigan is nice and all, but Florida has bikinis....

They have bikinis in Michigan too, just fur lined, and not the fur you are thinking of. That "fur" started to disappear sometime in the early to mid 80's, followed by stock prices soaring for the "Gillette" company!

Good luck with the DOT interview and if you decide to move to Florida. The DOT job might eventually lead you to plowing snow on some Michigan highway and the Florida job, you won't see snow ever again.

okay well i had to come back earlier than planned, i said i would report wednesday.. its tuesday now
Mom texted me telling me I could buy my old Taurus from my stepdad, I respectfully declined.. I know that she gets half of the money from the sale, so she would be getting half of the $500 she owes me for my tires... nope
Other than that
Florida is 3 high rises in Orlando, excavation, $10/hour
I will go if my dad does (he is an electrician and who I reside with currently) just because it will cut our costs down and we can thrive off eachother instead of me bust it to get nothing, but it is garunteed and in florida where its warm
MDOT is $8/hour garunteed but the possibility of $10/hour and being a team leader
I already have a part time job here so mdot would be full time and I would carry out my part time aswell
Other than my dad keeping me here, I have been dating the same girl for 15 months
shes still a junior in highschool, I am a senior.. we can do the part from eachother, its just the fact that I would miss her!
I know its stupid to hold your life back for a girl, but I truly see marriage with her!

I greatly appreciate the support, opinions, advice, and ideas from you guys!
That is the reason I keep reporting, I couldnt thank you guys enough, it does mean a heck of a lot to put this stuff out here

The body looks great for a 17 year old vehicle and for a $1000, you did good. You are mobile again. Good luck with the Ranger!

No, I don't see much of a resemblance of your friend to "Tickle" from "Moonshiners", possibly because he isn't old enough to grow a beard yet! : Also, your buddy appears to be holding a coffee mug and Tickle is usually holding a can of beer and has half a load on. Your buddy isn't old enough to do that yet either.
