Dead tree, and its held up by 2x4s? Your edges of your driveway aren't very well done. Grass seems like a patchwork of different types of grass. Not hard of the monthly worthy, nice looking lawn, but not award winning.

6/10

Well, Fauee, you're wrong. That dead tree is alive for now. It's a victim of Hurricane Irma propped up to see if it will recover. And no, the grass is all the same - St. Augustine. I'm thinking if the tree was dead and the yard was dirt I'd still win.

Dump the hideous wide whitewalls and I will give you a 9/10.

Those hideous white wall tires got me 2nd place in the custom division at the Chevrolet Nomad Association national meet last July. I think I'll keep them. That car has an Art Morrison chassis, ZZR 350 (355 h.p.) and 700r4.

Thank you. I didn't even include my favorite. It's in pieces. When done it will be all custom with an LS1 and a Tremec 6-speed. Art Morrison chassis, power rack-and-pinion, power 4-wheel disc, 4-wheel coil overs, 9-inch rear. We have three Nomads. I got my first Nomad in 1965 - my first car. We're members of the Chevrolet Nomad Association and I'm president of the Florida Nomad Club. We love 'em.

Much better yard, not much grass but well kept palm trees. Nice view. 9.5/10

The house next to me is vacant but you'd have to become a Seminole fan. (Which Bulldogs are you a fan of? )

Nice set of Nomads!!! You need a 57 to make it a trio.
