Default All you Florida peeps..

Sorry, I couldnt help but make a thread about this. I was down in the Orlando area visiting my relatives and went on a cruise as well. I was there for a week. I must say that of everywhere Ive been, you guys have the most serious rice infection I have ever seen. I saw a few nice F-bodies, but holy hell you guys have ricers out the assholio down there!! I was pimping my grandmas crown vic, and all I could see were flatualation cannons galore..It was like a sea of rice. I am sorry for all you guys down there that must endure this **** everyday. Maybee someday there will be a law or something.

My regards
matt

I really don't think its all that bad around here(orange park/middleburg 30min south of jacksonville). Its more bubba and his pick up truck with big old swamper tire blasting some rap with his killer stereo. Theres a few ricers but I really don't think its as bad as it once was.

Orlando will have more rice cause its a major city. The farther south you go the more rice. And Miami, don't even ask. Its ok though. I always get a good laugh when one tries to throw a rev at me. -Mark

yea, i was going to say OBT, but I didnt know if that could stand for more than one thing. I had to tell the cab driver how to get there from the airport, he had no clue. Go figure. At .25 every 1/8 mile. That is crazy **** right there, those prices are REdiculous!!!
