Got that right brother. One of my law school buds is with GBI and he can't wait to retire and move west of the Mississippi. As he said, "Anywhere west !"The last time I drove through Atlanta I swore to God I would never drive thought it on purpose again. I would drive 200 miles out of the way just to miss the entire city. As we say here in the south, "Bless your heart".
I don't care how far away I park, someone will always park next to me.I always park in the back of a parking lot. Sure its a PITA to walk further depending on the weather, but I believe this single method has prevented me from getting any dings or otherwise.
You should tell him there's "no vacancy."Got that right brother. One of my law school buds is with GBI and he can't wait to retire and move west of the Mississippi. As he said, "Anywhere west !"
no doubt!The fuel economy would be measured in feet per gallon on that rig.
Someone WANTED this to happen to you if you're parking in the south 40...I was in the back of the lot. I literally have no idea how this happened...
Or get one of the old Peacekeeper vehicles we used in the missile field for convoy security lol.thats just awful luck!
buy a used h2 hummer, fill the bumpers 'n doors with concrete and lett them play bumper cars all they want!
peacekeeper! wow nostalgia..we trained in those in the SP academy in '88 and ABGD at Dix..my 1st duty station they were gone. We had hummers and some crappy dodge p'ups & full sz suv's.Or get one of the old Peacekeeper vehicles we used in the missile field for convoy security lol.
Hi Anthony,peacekeeper! wow nostalgia..we trained in those in the SP academy in '88 and ABGD at Dix..my 1st duty station they were gone. We had hummers and some crappy dodge p'ups & full sz suv's.
sad but surly happened a lot..Hi Anthony,
Back Story.... Ford decided to compete for pickup truck support of Military vehicles. The F series folks came to me as I was managing Ford OffRoad Racing. So being in CAE at the time, my boss let me work with the Ford task force and we put together three F350 Crew Cab long wheel base vehicles, using off road parts that had been developed for Trophy/Trick Trucks. I got to flog these trucks on our off road course at the Romeo proving ground. These trucks on their big honkin' BFG kevlar tires rocked! So the Task force entered the competition and we kicked Dodge and Chevy's ass. I thought we would get the contract to build some 3000 of these trucks. Nope, some three star that liked Dodge sent us home. Really sucked that one person on his personal opinion would screw our superior in every category offering. But that is our Government... My opinion was Dodge bought him...JMO....

I'm on the south side in Coweta County and it's truly mind boggling how bad drivers are down here. The real bitch of it is that quite a few people down here are transplants so you can't blame it on Georgia, people are just plain stupid but for what ever reason it's worse down here. I've had dash cams in my vehicles for years now and on my drive to the airport five days a week I've captured footage worthy of the Darwin Awards. I just put a Blackvue dash cam in my Ranger that lets me know everything that's happening near it, and it works. It is nice the lady had enough class to leave a note though, that's rare these days, but it doesn't change the fact that no matter where you park you're not safe. Hope you get it fixed to your satisfaction.I was in the back of the lot. I literally have no idea how this happened...
Mike I just finally up a dash cam in my Ranger. I just knew it was only a matter of time before something happens while on the road here the way people drive now. At least this way it gives me some added insurance if/when something happens and they try and say "It wasn't my fault"....Smile you're on camera. ?I'm on the south side in Coweta County and it's truly mind boggling how bad drivers are down here.
