Posted: Sun Oct 18, 2009 9:20 am Post subject: Rock buggy in Gulf Breeze? |
|
|
My fiance swears that she saw a yellow rock buggy driving down the street in our neighborhood yesterday. She says it was really low to the ground but had the same size tires on all four corners and they were big like rock buggy tires, not sandrail tires. Personally, I find it hard to believe as I thought I was about the only buggy guy around here much less in my own neighborhood and there are a couple of old-timers near me that build flashy-colored hot rods that ride low to the ground and even a few VW sandrails that drive around ther streets. (Can't believe they don't get tickets.) But in all those cases the front tires are significantly smaller than the rears. If any other chick said that to me I would just smile and nod but my fiance has been wheeling with me enough to know the difference between a sandrail, a hot-rod, and a rock buggy jusy by sight if not mechanically.
So who is it? What was it? Am I not alone???

| Where in Gulf Breeze was this seen? I remember seeing a vehicle similar in Tiger Point. Maybe it was the same one? |

Very close to Tiger Point. She saw it on Bay St. in Villa Venice.
It is difficult to imagine that I have a, never seen it myself, b, never wheeled somewhere at the same time, and c, lives in or near my very neighborhood.

The only yellow rock crawler I know of in Gulf Breeze is Jocks yellow Jeep with a hummer front clip, it has 2 1/2 tons, 54 bogers and a sweet yellow paint job with some crazy graphics. The jeep has been on the 4 wheel ultimate adventure and many other big events and he does drive it on the street, he actualy broke his front detroit at the beach a cuople weeks ago and was waiting on his new overson 2 inch axles and locker to repair it. _________________ New Project....

Yeah, I know of him as does my fiance and by no means would she consider his Jeep to be low to the ground. It wasn't him.
