soo my neighbor came to my house to drop off my trike and we discussed putting custom front a rear bumpers on my blazer as well as a custom metal roof rack instead of a pvc one he's also gonna help me paint and get rid of all the rust on the inside.

I am very happy [:

So yesterday I almost spun my truck around in traffic... fml.

It was raining, I was coming up to an intersection, Light turned red, I stopped (yes completely) and then accelerated reasonably to turn right into traffic who were comming across the intersection (their light just turned green as I started moving again). I started doing the 1 wheelie peelie, and forgetting I had a G80 locker I just rode it out, that's until the diff locked and all hell broke lose. I'm glad I was paying attention because I had to countersteer HARD to keep the truck "heading" in the right direction. I shat a brick, not cool when you're not expecting it and it's not the ideal place to be hooning around like that.

I did that too. Not quite as bad tho. Going left at intersection. Hand was blinking and i was already going through the intersection and the peds started crossing. So I gave her a little shot of gas. Luckily if I'm new to a vehicle I take it to a snowy/rainy parking lot and see what happens in some situations. Actually My driving TEACHER used to get me to do it too, among driving through slush puddle to splash people on the sidewalk haha. He was awesome.

...so I've been turned into a friggin Chauffeur... My dad just got a DUI so he surrendered his license, and my grandmother is like 80 and shouldn't drive. So I get to take them everywhere... so far they've bought 8 packs of cigs this week... and its only Thursday.

I'm about tired of packing a diaper bag every time they need to go somewhere...

I feel you, Blazer Chick. My BF lost his license for same reason and now I get to work all day and then drive him to work 45 min. away every night. Although, it's not all bad cuz somehow he finds my seats so comfy he's almost always asleep before we're outta town, and out cold most of the trip. Ahhh....the sweet silence! LMAO

Be careful with that though, or you'll get nailed for Stunt driving

Personally I think it should be called Stud driving though because every guy knows chicks dig it, even if they (chicks) don't.

I have been "pulled" over in the parking lot before. I just told him that I was testing the limits of what the new to me vehicle. I wouldn't want to find out the hard way, like an accident. He said just make sure no one is around and NO vehicles in the parking lot.

HAHA, it wouldn't be bad if I didn't have to get my 4 month old ready everytime... and then we are usually out for like at least 2 hours... so then he gets cranky and hungry in the car or where ever we are. And now I'm not getting any work done on the Blazer because I'm in painting mode and between my son and being a Chauffeur I don't have time to paint. I feel bad because he just spent all day in his carseat, so I want to play with him lol. I'm starting to vent a little... I'm sorry, I'm just a little stressed. Gotta decide between moving to my Husband's hometown of Gulfport, MS, or my mom's up in Lewisville, NC, or stay around this area... I'd rather my husband choose... but he wants it to be okay with me.

Been there, done that.
I was making a left turn after the light turned green. It rained after we had a long dry spell so the roads had a nice unwashed coat of oil.
I tried to stay in the left hand lane going through the turn, and the truck didn't want to. Rear end broke loose, I counter steered, and ended up on the concrete median. But at least I was still facing the right direction.
