Tundras live: Agree to disagree (a lesson in civility)

That looks amazing!

 

Um... You were there. How is this an "allegedly" kind of story?

 

I thrashed a Mazda B2000 back in the day as well. Never rolled it into a ditch, but I did a surprising amount of stupid shit in it.

 

WTF is up with rolling Mazda pickups. Here is what I did to mine.

 

I wish I was, it would make for a cooler story. Was traveling in the blues to go visit my girlfriend, now wife, and got sideways after hitting some black ice, went down into the median and then rolled 3 times and stopped with the drivers side window down on the other side of the freeway. Luckily there wasn’t much traffic. Climbed out the passenger window and walked away with a small scratch on my forehead. Was right out of high school, thought I was invincible and was driving too fast for the conditions. Definitely a humbling experience and have my fun in a much more controlled environment these days.

 

Me too! I liked that truck too! I spent a lot of time wrenching on that in highschool.

 

Probably rolling in disgust that they are/were really just Ford Rangers.

 

They were also cheaper, which in high school I was okay with. I really wanted a Tacoma when I had that one but couldn’t ever afford it. Only took me 17 years after getting my licenses to get a Toyota truck.

 

I wish I got to fly more. Absolutely love flying. Never done it in a small prop job like that though. Did you enjoy it? Scenery looks beautiful.


Helicopter flight is an absolute blast. Wanted to be a heli pilot since I was about 6, and did an intro flight years back where they take you up and give a quick basics run and then actually let you control, fly for a few minutes. IIRC cost me $200 for the introductory flight, and I loved every second. The pilot even did a couple auto rotations. Absolutely recommend it to anyone.

Is the link SFW? I don't wanna get fired.

 

Dang dude, get out there! Book yourself a trip to Mexico or Hawaii.

 

Wonder if the pilot was just having fun making you feel like it was sketchy. As for the heli ride, look for light schools near you that run Robinson R-22s and R-44s, and see if they do introductory flights. Some even do intro flights at no cost. I flew with Quantum Helicopters down in AZ, and it was an amazing experience. If I had been able to afford it I would have pursued a career as a pilot. Gotta get grants or have money for that though.

 

It's safe, allegedly.

 

Way rather go to Japan, England, Italy, or even Florida than either of those crazy places.

 

I'm with ya except Florida. I love Hawaii, Mexico is pretty cool.
Planning on going back to England and Scotland when my kids are a little older.

 

On airplane talk, we took a sightseeing flight in St. Thomas VI and rode in a sweet 6 person jet that had its own parachute! That was cool, the pilot made my wife a little sick with some aggressive moves though.

 

Truth.

 

I don't have a strong desire to go to Florida, but I'd go there before risking kidnapping, getting head cut off, or dysentery in Mexico, or the utter insanity of Hawaii. It's just like Southern California but with Natives that don't want you there. I'll pass.

Does driving through it without stopping count?
