Took my lady friend for a ride in the big banana to the jet car rental place - I think she had a good time

Forgot to mention if you’re in the area this place was right behind the Marriott on Sand Key at south end of Clearwater Beach - highly recommend!

Sounds better than 'my sugar baby', no? And never seen jet boats disguised as cars; smart move. Assume they have V8 engines, no?

LOL - no just normal Yamaha WaveRunner engines according to the guy - I don’t think they were supercharged though. Wow this is rough crowd - sometimes I call her my cowgirl since we like to go horseback riding together (I didn’t used to enjoy it but now I LOVE it for obvious reasons - see pic ) - and sometimes I call her my hot tub buddy - and sometimes I call her my travel companion - and sometimes I call her my roommate - but “lady friend” seems to fit best. Her Dad is one of my best friends and only 10 years older than me

Hey we only tease. But at the end of the day you’re the one that has to happy, which clearly you are. So it’s a win!

Yes, nice to see you and your lady friend enjoying life!

My wife of 35 years and I were out riding recently. A little colder up here…

Oh, I see. But can't be a 'WaveRunner' with side by side seats, but one of their 'sport jet boats' they came up with, with dual WaveRunner engines. Still peppy, but with a Corvette body, I was expecting one of those old-school V8 jet boats instead. Ha ha. Remember driving my uncle one, with a big block, barely sticking out of the water. But it was fun, and had a gas pedal like a car, rather than the typical hand lever. But they were horrible in choppy water though, since the hull basically had zero engineering. Ha ha. Oh, and the teasing was just friendly banter.

Oh yeah growing up my Dad had a Thompson Sidewinder with an inboard Chevy V8 - awesome fun! No worries on the teasing - I have two older brothers who are relentless
