First driving lesson.
We all will never forget the first vehicle we ever drove.
So.....EVERYTHING (other than the kid and Humvee) in these pictures is now GONE! Massive rain and floods - washed it all away.Used mine as a mobile power and tool station to build more bases for my son’s air soft close quarters combat zone in the backyard.

Oh man, sorry to hear about the loss. I used to love getting into airsoft skirmishes year ago right up until it seemed that all of my gear broke down at the same time. I really want to get back into it some day (still have all my gear) and have a real blast rolling out the HMMWV onto the field for some added "scenario flavor."So.....EVERYTHING (other than the kid and Humvee) in these pictures is now GONE! Massive rain and floods - washed it all away.
But, we see piles of pallets here and there down the creek and fields from our property. Once the ground dries up, will load the Humvee and go retrieve what we can out of the other properties. At least that will be a fun adventure. My kid is bummed.
I know what you mean. The Humvee is a real bonus (but I take the soft doors and roll up the canvas to protect the soft windows from damage). We have done a game play where the boys (15 and 16) under my supervision "SLOWLY" bring the humvee across the field and "run out of fuel" They then have to take a couple of old bleach bottles out of the bed and carry them to the base and refill and back without getting hit.Oh man, sorry to hear about the loss.

I personally own a VFC Mk16Mod0 SCAR-L. It's absurd how closely they replicated this to the real thing, right down to barrel take-down and receiver disassembly. I got a chance to handle one just before they released them to the public and had a guy on base laughing when I knew exactly how to take it apart and put it back together with no instruction or stumbles. I also snagged up an M249 Para from a friend, which again has some absurd realism. It's close enough that some of the forend parts are interchangeable, and I was able to slap an actual M249 box mag right on with no fitment issues. I'm looking forward to one day making that M249 a very cool display piece for shows. Really just needs a short belt of some dummy rounds and a pintle (which it's ready to accept) and it'll look just like the real thing.I know what you mean.

I have an M4 AEG and an AK47 AEG Contractor edition (I wish they really made one like this for real). I enjoy getting out there when they have an odd number of players and need somebody. My son has all sorts of AEGs and just bought his first gas powered pistol.
The realism on the weapons is amazing - down to the weight and feel.
On any given good weather day, my yard looks like a war zone with all these boys in full gear hiding behind trees and rushing the field.
Wow.It must be hard living in fear of such trivial things.
Today I discovered there's a compartment under the drivers seat (only took me 4 years) and it was full of nicely laminated maps (covered in dirt).

Consider a preemptive strike, contact the HOA and file a complaint that someone is leaving litter and threatening notes on your legal, registered vehicle.Well, I guess I made some new friends. Found this note tucked in on the door hinge.

Truck is parked on the road, registered and insured.
Don’t you just love your neighbors?
And that isn’t nail polish on my thumb! Slammed it in the car door trying to close it carefully so I wouldn’t wake the wife when I left early.
Show em' that thumbnail and they will run for the hills. OUCH Hoa's suck- lived in one (not long) and swore I'd never do it again... Good luck !!!!!!Consider a preemptive strike, contact the HOA and file a complaint that someone is leaving litter and threatening notes on your legal, registered vehicle.
Nope, no maps of hidden gold and silver mines, just more dirt.Wow. You found DIRT!
Were the maps useful, at least?
Sounds like it's time to become VERY familiar with your HOA's ByLaws, Rules and Covenants.Well, I guess I made some new friends. Found this note tucked in on the door hinge.
