Sounds like you have a good plan, Abe. You'll have the truck all spiffed up for TS16

Rite on abe. The way I look at it is we are just care takers of these trucks, and as so are responsible for giving them the occasional attention they may require. In return they just keep on providing us with joy and a bond like no other. Your a good care taker abe. Have you thought about swinging by the body shop and slipping a Valentines day card under the wiper. Im sure she misses you too.

You know, if you look at the screen without the computer glasses on, this picture looks like you're doing a reverse burn-out.

Hope the shop work gets done before the summer. Keep on that guy, show up often to bring donuts and always mention how much you miss driving it.
Good luck, hang in there.

It was a cold day and I just started it not too long before. Good idea about the donuts. I plan on being there often to help dismantle and that should keep him working on mine if I am there.
