Apocalypse

Well...

A few months ago, my project had stalled. I saw the Mayan calendar and decided that I had better get off the dime if I want to drive this thing before the end of the world!! I pressed on with a few things & it is drivable (no heat or windshield wipers, but it drives). I actually had it driving in September, but it just keeps getting better!

Here it is at the gas station getting a few gallons extra...just in case!!




Well...the world didn't end, so I had better get out and finish of my Christmas shopping!! I am certain that my wife doesn't want truck parts!!

Merry Christmas!! For all of you who are hitting the road, be careful out there!

Dan

Weird, and here I thought I felt an apocalypse roll through last night... guess it was just a cold front.

Dan, My question is did you pour the gas out of your emergency back up can(noticed it in the bed of the truck) in the tank first and then refill the back up? Just keep everything fresh.

Under three dollars?!?!
We're still rejoicing from when it finally dropped under $3.50 last week.
