Strawberry Shortcake: Whipy's Wonderful Adventure

Recommended Posts

damn son is there a toy you DON'T have? lol

No, not really. Before I type this list I'd like to add the disclaimer that I do not have a ridiculous amount of money or anything like that. All the toys my family has are old and we've just obtained more and more over the years. Either way, I'd rahter have the stuff we have over newer shit any day.

My old man's boat - 18' Starcraft

My boat - 16' Alumacraft

14' putt-around

12' putt-around

3 ATC's

mini bike

dirt bike

mini chopper

5 snomobiles

I *think* that's it besides the cars.

here's a quick pic i made up to show a before-and-after of my truck.....i got it 100% stock and have done a list of shit to it......older vehicles are always in need of maintenance so lifting it more keeps getting put on the back burner but it's ok for now. When compared to my mustang I haven't put much into it but in reality I've done a lot.

The only thing either one of my vehicles gets taken to a shop for is front end alignments. And yes it will be at MW2014, I'll be sure to stay at HSS with you and [MENTION=21]Steve-Oh[/MENTION] this year.

Lookin good man! With the white/blue hood I feel like there should be an "America! Fuck Yea!" banner down the side of the car lol

There's no way to merge this thread with my build thread on sn95forums so whenever I'm at the computer for a few minutes I copy and paste it from there to here.

Are you gonna stay at HSS again?

I think so Tyler. Might price out a couple other places but I'm sure I'll be there again. The parking situation at HSS was just kind of annoying, but I'm sure it's the same where ever you end up staying.

So confused. Is this motor the one that you sent me a video of like a week ago?!?!

Yahhh, remember - I have to copy/paste my SNF build thread to here. I do a little here and there whenever I'm at the computer. I've got a long way to go.
