No I know I can laugh at it......I'm not saying I raced him...I just know.

Yeah, love the beach and my mini-me does too. Best place to relax especially when you have spots where there are hardly any people.
Sludge.

Oh oh oh and adding to my slowness is the 3.08 rear end, and 31x10.50 tires.

My best friend lives in Boca. And my brother lives in Jersey, but has a house in Ocean City (MD) that I can use anytime I want, but I hate to feel like I'm taking advantage of him so I rarely ask him to use it.

Charlie not David lol!

to save the transmission, when it doesnt change a gear to slow down and down shift on the automatic to put less strain on the transmission...it usually only does this when going up a hill/speeding up from lets say 25mph to 70mph...other then that it runs fine, when it struggles i can feel that it hasn't changed a gear and the RPMs go up and the speed usually doesnt change or goes down...

Sorry. I meant charlie!

And that makes a lot of sense. Sounds like the tranny starts slipping under hard loads so downshifting eases it a bit.

I wouldn't have thought of it... We don't have hills in Florida

it's ok i am tired ! i am surprised you understood what the heck i was talking about!

the transmission is definitly slipping as it seems, and i DEFINITLY cannot afford or want to drop a new transmission into it so i am going to drive it till it dies and hope i can save enough money by next year to afford a ford focus coupe

360ish feeet is the highest point in this state. Where I am the biggest hills are leading from land down to the river. And going up man made stuff I shouldn't

Farther north by gainesville they have some rolling hills, but nothing much. I'm used to Eastern Kentucky and western North Carolina, the Appalachain mountains. We'd have more elevation change on the road leading to the house than this entire dang state!

Super sludge! Little auto that would almost groan when hitting the gas going over the bridges around here.

I found a couple in Ocala but that was it and it wasnt anything to brag about.

Trust me, this wasn't my choice! I hate how flat it is, the only redeeming feature is that I can be at a beach in 30 minutes with all the eye candy I can want (and more if I feel like trying to be social haha)

It's all a trade off. Buuttttttt I guess I can deal

I like driving in the mountains when I visit my mom except the rough road part. Other than that I'm good. Well, I did hit a dog up there so maybe I'm not.

Be careful what you wish for. It's downright miserable out here for the summer. And uncomfortable for half the year. For the most part you can't walk to your mailbox and back without sweating. I was fixing my water pump sunday, and had sweat rolling down my face just standing there.

But over winter it's gorgeous!

It's pretty. My mom lives in upstate PA and I love fall! I moved down here a LONG time ago so I've never had to drive in snow. It looks scary.
