"'08 Chevy Silverado 2500HD Duramax may look like one of the totally overbuilt, just-for-show rigs seen jumping rows of demolished auto carcasses, it's actually a scaled down, somewhat streetable version of Bigfoot, the almost mythical machine that has fascinated every one of us at one point or another in our lives."

Bigfoot actually has changed my life.. haha

at least you wouldnt have to worry about anyone breaking into it.. or causing any body damage.. unless your shocks go poop

You would be surprised whats street legal. My buddy had some type of Ford truck that only just barely fit between the lines of the road, it actually went over the inside of both lines driving down the street. It was not raised or anything like the video one but it was massive.

Very similar to this one, possibly even the same model but I don't know for sure.

Greetings from the Sunshine state again.
Just wanted some information from the locals..

I need: Popular radio stations for me to set my car to.

Preferably.. Hip-hop/Rap, Classic Rock, and possibly Alternative Rock, depends.

Maybe 3 HH/R, 2 classic rock, and 1 alternative? And I hope to meet you all in April !!

Thrasher I heard about that car show about a month ago on the radio but I thought it was only a 1 time deal since I never heard about it again. I would like to come out and look around and might come this saturday. Of course its about 20 miles away from me >.> sp I am not sure if I will have gas by then lol. Hopefully I do and will look around for any rx8's there.


Superhypered I can only think of 107.5 right now, but there is not really any good stations here. One good song comes on and its generally followed by crap and you have to change to another station. I dont know exactly what typ eof music they play but I can tell you its not rap lol :P. I will try and write down what I have saved in my car, it will be rock and similar music. Seems liek most stations out here play a mix of stuff though.
