How do you get your boat to the lake?

[Hula Popper]

I wish I could drive! ;D

[FALCON]

I WALK OUT MY BACK DOOR , GET IN THE BOAT GO DOWN SIX HOUSES AND TURN INTO THE NEXT CANAL GO FOUR HOUSES AND I'M ON THE LAKE.

[Siebert Outdoors]

My mom drives me

Chevy all the way.  

I owned a boat before I owned a vehicle. So the mom drives me wasnt far off years ago.  Although I took my dads F150 until it broke down and wouldnt haul the boat up the ramp.

I run a 02' Stratos 21 XL Magnum($25,000)I pull with a 78' Suburban($500).You should see the looks I get at the ramp.

CJ, I know what you mean. I get some crazy looks but for the opposite reason:   2005 Acura MDX (north of 40 grand) and a 14' jon w/ a Minn Kota ($900)

Funny you should ask this. My Fix Or Repair Daily aka FORD just broke down. I just got home from bringing it home. I drive a ford ranger. It has now stranded me at school twice. The only way it works is if I keep my foot on the gas the whole time. It doesnt idle. Can NEone guess what is wrong. I want to buy a chevy colorado.

[Jnamo]

FORD.

As long as it is a Ford or Chevy it is cool with me.

You can keep your Non-American cars >

Jnamo, While I appreciate your patriotic spirit I don't think it is necessary to slam non GM/Ford vehicles with racial slurs. When either of these two companies can come up with a mid sized suv comparable to the Toyota 4Runner in quality and reliability I'll be more than happy to take a look at it. Mine was built right here in the good ole USA by hard working Americans. Here's some information to enlighten you.       Toyota (NYSE: TM) established operations in North America in 1957 and

currently operates fourteen manufacturing plants including two under

construction.  There are more than 1,700 Toyota, Lexus and Scion dealerships

in North America which sell more than 2.5 million vehicles a year.  Toyota

directly employs over 38,000 in North America and its investment here is

currently valued at more than $16.3 billion, including sales and manufacturing

operations, research and development, financial services and design.  Toyota's

annual purchasing of parts, materials, goods and services from North American

suppliers totals more than $26 billion.

   According to a 2005 Center for Automotive Research study, Toyota, along

with its dealers and suppliers, has generated nearly 400,000 U.S. jobs,

including jobs created through spending by direct, dealer and supplier

employees.

It doesn't matter what you drive.Remember this...The Nike's that you are probably wearing are made in Korea.

Do yourself a favor buy a toyota at least you won't have to work on it everyday and know you have a dependable long lasting truck

[KYbass1276]

FORD.

As long as it is a Ford or Chevy it is cool with me.

You can keep your Jap cars >

Jeff

Yeah ford and chevy's are nice cars and trucks you get alot of practice working on them,  But me I think I stick with my never has let me down jap car I don't like busting my knuckles up working on a vehicle

[paparock]

I will be taking my boat to the lake using my Chevy Z71 and then taking it to my new boat stall at Lakeview Marina, on Bull Shoals Lake.

[bassmasta7]

Dale Earnhardt Jr. has made me a Chevy man and my Ford Ranger has made me .... uh .. um.... a good mechanic.

[Cajun1977]

FORD.

yeah no need for the racial slurs  i hope one of the moderaters will delete this post

[Jnamo]

You all are right about my mis-use of words.  I fixed it and apologize to anyone that I may have offended.  

I have several generations of family members that worked for the American auto companies and I live in SE Mich. whose entire economy is based on the sales of American automotive companies.  

I have a question.  Why is it that whenver someone says they drive a chevy or ford, that is all they say.  But when someone says they drive a Foreign car, they have to add about the reliability and the jobs that these manufactors created?  Is it shame?  Are you embarrassed and need to justify your reasoning?  

By the way, I have owned 2 Tauruses and both had near 200,000 miles and 12 years on them when I donated them to charity.  All they ever needed was routine maintenance and alternators/batteries.   My 94 dodge minivan has 160,000 miles and is running strong.  There are a lot of cars out there with a gazillion miles on them.  The foreign car owners like to huff and puff about them in what I believe is a guilt motivated justification.  The majority of those cars are sold in Southern States that don't have all of the salt and winters to contend with.

Just my thoughts, have at it boys!  Jeff

[IllinoisBasser]

Here we go again.

[Jnamo]

It doesn't matter what you drive.Remember this...The Nike's that you are probably wearing are made in Korea.  

The difference is that I have a choice to buy an american car or a foriegn one.  If you can show me a company that makes shoes in America (at a normal price), I would buy them.  The only reason I dont is ignorance on my own part.  Not a conscious decision.  

My shoes are Sonoma ( made in China) sold at Kohls.  I hate nike shoes, they are overpriced and cheap.  

Here we go again, Jeff

[Cujo]

Hey, my GMC (which isn't on the list and it's not a chevy) has 289,000 miles.  Maybe it's time for a new truck, but man I just love that truck.   ;D  ;D

[ball_coach_1]

Aren't Chevy's the only thing that will pull a boat properly?

[Rattlinrogue]

F150 for a towing vehicle.Nike,Reebok,and adidas to fish in.Toyota is a very dependable truck.Last one I owned,I gave it to my Dad with 300,000 miles on it.He sold it when it reached 500,000 miles.My next truck will be a Toyota.

[Madhouse27]

Jeff, The reality of the situation is that I wasn't going to post anything about Toyota. I simply checked it off on the survey and read the thread. I felt your jap comment needed a response. The only person starting anything on here was you.....several times to be exact. Believe me I don't feel any of this so called "guilt or embarrassment" about owning Toyotas or about buying Shimano reels. This hard working American is about trying to get the best value for his money. I'm not really understanding your other informative tidbit about people in the south buying import cars. I live in Maine. The roads are covered with ice, snow and salt for almost half the year. I'll just say that the only vehicle in my yard showing the beginning signs of rust is not a Toyota and its a year newer. I like alot of American vehicles. What I'm not too big on are your snide racist comments and unfounded generalizations.

[davo3901]

I pull my boat to the lake with a Nissan Titan. I lvoe the power and space of that truck.
