No drinking involved....

I was backing out if the driveway about 30 mins ago to go the store and cut my truck a little sharp. Tore the wood trim off the side of the garage.Actually not the trim ripped a hunk of wood off...not from the seam a hunk of wood. Thinking OMG, what have I done!!!!! Got out and looked.....Wood gone and ripped away. Not even a scratch or the bumper out of line...Whew!!

Then I was backing into a parking lot space with a retaining wall behind me supported with concrete while talking to my son and..BAM!!! I hit it without the brakes!!!! Got out thinking this isn't gonna be pretty....and the wall hits flush with my hitch.....WHEW again....

I get home put her in the garage and closed the door. No more driving today for me.

Today was a "lucky" day for me,..coulda been worse.



Btw, I love my Limited Edition seats.....

That's comeuppance for your sin of pride. To atone, you need to get
rid of those seats and I'll help you by taking them off your hands.

Oh wait, I have those seats already. And I haven't hit anything with
this truck or any truck. Must be living right...
