Funny story

I was driving home from work today in my black suburban and was stopped at a light when a woman drove up on my passenger side in a silver 78 F250 ranger xlt in really nice condition and honked for me to roll down my window. She asked me if I wanted to sell my suburban and I politely said no however I told her that she has a really nice truck and that I was also a dent side owner. Light turned green and we where off our merry way. I just thought it was rather ironic that I was driving my suburban that usually doesn't draw attention to itself that someone in a dent side wanted to buy it. It's usually the other way around for me.

That's my story, short but true.

You should've offered to trade the 'burb for the dent!

I'm an old Army guy. I always thought NBC stood for Nuclear, Biological, and chemical.

NBC-No Body Cares. Just kidding.

I do freelance work for NBC part time along with other broadcasters and production houses but mostly with NBC. I also do engineering for public safety communications infrastructure systems. I wear many hats.

I would of at least asked her what she wanted for her rig, owning 2 F250's are better than 1.

And we know without saying she smoked you at the light......lol JK. But we know it happened.
