Does Rocky have cute daughters?

I can just imagine Stallone trying to put a twin Rolls cigar boat out on the Lake.

He has 7 and a 5 year old daughter. It will be fun to smoke a cigar with Tom and Rocky. :D

Since morgan has the ultimate tanning machine maybe Tadd needs a real Autocross car, like a E-stock MR2... ;)

Mari hasn't really come around to be willing to sell it but it seems like a waste of national level car to just commute to work in it.

I haven't felt good driving Moby around since the day I leased him despite his relative vehicle dynamics. And I've truly come to realize what a bloated pig he is since I started autocrossing. I can't imagine daily-driving anything bigger and deriving any pleasure from it at all. Other than the thrill of having a big, tall mass of steel that intimidates other drivers, which doesn't float my boat (since I'm already large and intimidating, without having to resort to a metal exoskeleton).

Plus, I've seen too many people that think they're exempt from the laws of physics driving these leviathans (really good idea to be 20" off my back bumper at 75 mph in your 5000 lb Suburban honker with two kids in car seats, Mommy Megan!). Can't see daily driving a truck willingly. Unless there's a welcoming stretch of mud and jumps between home and work, what's the point?

I'm getting sort of used to driving my 7400lbs 1-ton Cummins as a DD. Something about 650ftlbs of torque stock and 18.4mpg combined on the last tank before I had to tow anything.

But I liked my Dakota because it handled better than the 94 Z28 LT1 M6 we had. Monster trucks? Not my thing.

That's true. People with lifted trucks are called bros. I love driving my truck it's fun and the looks I get from people driving hybrids are priceless.

But Tadd.... To truly be a Bro don't you have to wear cheap T-shirts and trucker hats?

Seems like your $150 T's are just asking to get beat up in that crowd????

She is definitely hot and rich, but I'm guessing (hoping?) that Tadd's other qualities were what attracted her to him. Don't know that I'd be really interested in a woman that was attracted to a truck. Missing teeth and playing a banjo come to mind.

If you truly want to be a flat-biller, you have to have a lot of tattoos, wear a wife beater and live in the 909. And your truck has to have at least 6" more lift than Tadd's. As an accessory, a black eye from the fight you and your bros got into last night is a nice touch.
