Awe man im sorry to hear about that. Hopefully the worst of it is behind you. Im glad your able to stay positive about it and your staying strong and seeing the glass half full.

You had me at Impala SS. How big is your garage? haha you have to have some kinda extra garages to keep all these vehicles...
Yeah i love those old 22RE's. I had an old 91 Pickup, then someone hit me and totaled it. Then after insurance $ my parents bought me the 3rd Gen. Worked out great for me! Just wish she was 4wd... But she gets the job done so all is good. I guess ill just stick to minor aesthetic mods till i finish college then really go all out... Thanks for the advice and keep up the great work!

Ill keep you and your wife in my prayers hope everything works out man! *If thats okay with you?*

Thanks for the positive vibes! Any and all prayers are more than welcome!

She'll beat this. She may be small ( 5'2" ) but she's very head strong. This is just a little setback in the main battle.
It's just a matter of time before she licks it for good.


An older shot of the Impala. The blue one I had for years. It rusted out so bad, it was cheaper to buy the red one & build a garage for it than to fix it up.



You can see the garage behind the Wife's white '97. It's a large 3 car. We had the 3rd bay made extra large to fit the Impala into.
The garage itself is 24' deep by 35' wide. We figured if we were going to build a house, let's only do this once and do it right. Still need a bigger garage.

Okay good! Yeah that is so true! Yeah my girlfriend is 5' 1.5" so i hear ya haha
Im glad i found this thread you really kinda meet some really awesome people!

Wow that is a pretty big garage haha must be nice to have all that room! Yeah it will probably always be that way never have enough room, like you can never have enough 4runners! haha My truck just sits out front parked in the grass. Yeah you got it figured out, dont go buy a bunch of brand spanking new vehicles when you can buy 5+ awesome 4runners and old school favorites! haha That is a really nice house btw i like it!

Sorry to bring the thread off topic and everything.

Not a problem at all & thanks for the compliments!

BTW, I went to USL in Lafayette.
Miss the people & the food.
Don't miss the heat & humidity.
Oh wait, I live in Florida so no difference there

Oh really? Wait... USL or ULL? Ive never heard of USL but a close friend of mine goes to ULL i wonder if maybe they changed names? Im going to Southeastern Louisiana University in Hammond for this year, then transferring to LSU next year *whoop whoop*

Yeahh the weather this winter has succkkedd... It has been cold for a total of maybe 3 weeks all winter. Yeah i guess both Florida and Louisiana are kinda on the same wavelength with heat and humidity to an extent haha.
The heat really sucks when i try to go hunting, deer dont like to move when its hott. And i technically dont wanna be sweating being attacked by mosquitoes the whole time either haha. Would you believe me if i told you i hunt in Baton Rouge? Not sure how familiar you are with B.R. though...

Well its good to know someones that at least been here haha Ive seen a few from Shreveport but thats too far away for me. Plus not like i can do to much with 2wd and a budget haha.

I Loveee the food! There isnt anything like cajun seasoning! Gotta love the sportsman paradise! Seafood, venison, gumbo, jambalaya, crawfish, you name it!

Yea, I seem to remember they changed the name a while back. Seems it took too long to write University of Southwestern Louisiana on everything. Was there from '84 to '86.
Was dating a girl who was going to cullinary college in Lafayette. Man, she could cook! and the food wasn't bad either

I go to Georgia to hunt now, but I grew up hunting in Florida. It didn't get nice until late Nov. early Dec.

The only time really went to Baton Rouge was for nickle beer night.
My roomie / frat brother ( Lambda Chi Alfa )was from New Orleans, so spent more weekends there with his family than anywhere else.

That is an awesome setup!!!!

Thanks Opie

Saw an email on the Dodge Ram Truck (DiRT) email list and perused this site a bit:

AutoHome Roof Top Tents - Maggiolina, Columbus Variant, and OverLand

Check it out! Cool stuff, but out of my price range for the near/mid future.

If I had only known about the OverCamp during my surfing years...
