    I hope it was fun, if not a little anticlimactic. I get excited over seeing steep dirt embankments while driving the Civic, hope you found at least some enjoyment to make your drive worthwhile. Explore on Google Maps and see what else you can find.

    Ocala looks like wagon heaven on Earth, any experience with it?

    well i took the gopro but it was dead ....
    i did have fun as soon as i turned off into the tall weeds and small trees it was swampy ... ( tried to hold the button on instagram to record )
    that didnt go to well ....
    im charging both the gopro and external battery now

    as for Ocala no cant say i do
    but i did see some fj cruisers going back into croom something rd which is out in Brooksville so im definetly going to try there

    no sir ....
    alignment is still the same .... as long as i keep it under 45ish mph on asphalt it seems to be fine

    i haven't driven the 5000miles or done any parts replacement to get the alignment redone under the free warranty....

    but im still planning to make it up to Import Alliance ..... SLOWLY ...... :hopelessness:

    Don't drive on the swampers... you'll eat a lot of tread off.. Just put some tires on the Miata wheels.

    And I need my civic rims back when you come for your spare. I want to put them on my CRX.
  • DRMORTYDRMORTY Council Member
    And I'll be out of town till the 24th. So we gotta meet up then. Lol
