Floridians are honest to a fault and enjoy poking a stick at any and everything.

I'll bet the old farmer that rob got that deck off of wasn't put off by the spiked blue hair at all, I'll bet that if rob sold him the car, he would've done the same.
Tooling around the backroads of Ocala with a spliff in one hand and a beer in the other- pickin' up some local skanks- blue hair and overalls. Heh

There's a Sunday mornin' mental picture for ya!

EY, dont pick on us floridians

and yes i was tooling around the backroads of ocala with a spliff in my hand, but no beer. remember i was 16 and couldnt buy boose yet, i had blue hair, but i wasnt wearing overalls, that was the old man. i got the boose from the local kids i met, and i didnt meet the local skanks untill i hit eustis, fl, witch is in lake county about 35 miles south of ocala, -it was on the way home. i always used to stop at the little public beach on lake eusits and hang out there for the evening whenever i travled threw that part of the state. alot of good memories. it was a public beach, along with the municipal public swimming pool and volly ball court. it was pretty much the only place to go or anything to do in that sleepy little town on the weekends. it was far away enough from the bullshit of metro orlando, but still close in enough to get to in a hours drive. it was very peaceful there, ive even thought about moving out there a few times.

heres some old pics of how things were back in those days, first my garage hangout/ stereo palace. everyone that ever came over, it was mandatory for them to write something on the wall..

i took these pics back in 2010 when i went home for the weekend to spend some time with my folks, this was my old garage at my dads house, he still owns the property but donset live there anymore, and just rents it out, and its kinda sad cause he dosent really keep the place up anymore. he has 15 propertys around orlando and this one is just kinda on the back burner, its the last house that is left over from the original beaumont family before my parents split in 1998. the only reason he keeps it is because of that reason, and it will be passed down to me one day.







this is what it looked like back in the day.

Nice pics Rob.

Your hang out days were just yesterday though. If you want to talk about hanging out back in the day,.. I bet the other Rob on this forum could post some black & white photo's.

I'm teasing you man,.. time sneaks past us fast enough.

That's the Pic I was waiting for, that is styling old school- circa 2000. Havana style, man.
