Driving Staples Street in Corpus Christi TX

Hey Guys! I've been living full time in my F150 with a Leer topper for over two years now. Heat or cold. Rain or shine. Please check out the channel and Thanks!
Happy Independence Day everyone. Spent the morning with a friend and after I dropped her off in Corpus Christi I decided to drive Staples street. Thanks for riding along.

    The car sculpture at Staples and Weber you pointed at was made by Mr. O'Dowdy,,,I was friends with his Son,,,The owners of the plaza wanted something put there because it was a common place for people to park their cars when they wanted to sell them. Just a small bit of trivia. Drive safe and enjoy Corpus Christi ;-)

And I even towed a boat from around NASA straight up 45 in 8am rush hour traffic and that was nothing compared to Dallas all over the metroplex it is bad -even on weekends! I won’t do it any more. Not for anyone or anything. I even paid my BFFs extra flight to have her take a hop from DFW to Tyler so I wouldn’t have to pick her up at DFW bc I just won’t drive it anymore. And that was about 10 yrs ago.
