Snow and ice occasionally in NC, rare though.

If you want a true rust free truck, look really South NC, around Charlotte, Concord, Gastonia, etc, or even further south.

They salt like crazy here, earlier in the week when we were supposed to have snow and got nothing, they had so much crap on the roads they were white.

My wifes mom lives in summerville, sc.. and I have family in greenvile, sc. So I have places I can stay when it comes time to get a new truck. Was finding 6 spd cummins for under 10k! Only obstacle I need to get around is getting it registered to drive it home.

^ Your in laws could check into it for you but in Virginia you can get Trip Permits to drive from one location to another without having it registered, etc..

Some people I know did that with a car they bought in Va before they moved to Ga....

Was driving and experienced a nice wobble in the steering and I was like wtf? So I got out and saw that my axle was out of place about 1 1/2 inches. Kept on driving another wobble and sure straightened her out. Also got the old broken trackbar all welded up and ready to go. Hopefully a new right front tire tomorrow to.

If you're lucky...

The badging isn't even accurate. I've seen a ton of 2001 5.2's with Hemi 5.7 emblems. People down here are borderline retarded and fall for that crap. I have set plans to move to GA this summer, and I'm excited about finally going to the United States haha! South Florida = North Cuba

I wouldn't blame you. I live on the border, if I go south anymore I'd be in Cuba/New York. But I love Florida too much to move, except for the whole sinkhole problem. I'll probably move to Spring Hill or Chiefland when I get older though.
