Duelly = dually and breaks = brakes are the two most commonly misspelled words on FTE .. Then there's the usual problem with its and it's.

But my all time favorite was the guy looking for a wench, and he mentioned wench several times, but...

He wasn't looking for a sweet young thing, he was looking for a winch!

Rich, that truck is way too long for a Lunati. Surely it's got one of them five syllable camshafts.

I just read that USPS is about to spend $6.3B to replace it's aged fleet of mail trucks. When these become available, imagine the possibilities!

Rich, a quick detachable setup for your Bronco Buggy? Imagine that in your local parade! You'll probably get some funny looks from the mailman when he catches you measuring the wheelbase on his delivery vehicle.

If it is not OEM FORD sheet metal, it is NOT going on my Bronco. Lol Those mail trucks would be a cool pit car.

Is it coincidence that my truck's right eye appears to have an eye patch??

I should have posted this sooner but things have been beyond busy here. This is the 3rd version of this story.
A couple decided to have their little domestic issues while driving, ran the stop sign, got T boned by a guy and his daughter on a motorcycle, car bounced off stop sign barriers and redirected car into...


Into another one of my trucks that was parked on a private yard 2 meters from the roadway. Just got back into town and now I can get started on the insurance again, 1800 in total damages is the cut off line then the option will be for me to take 1500 and keep the truck or the full 1800 and they tow. This is the 3rd time I've had a truck hit while parked near that corner, the first 2 times I was living 160' from the corner when the trucks met their demise while parked.

Haven't heard much other than spinal issues on the father, I have a video on it but the 2 on the bike wind up in the frame by themselves but it gets hard to watch him dragging himself to his daughter. 2 days later I had a family situation start and I've been out of province twice since so I'm still coming up to speed on it. Its a high accident corner with at least 3 somewhat concerning accidents per week, there's a notice here saying that the city is putting a bike lane along the thoroughfare. Just more targets for the aholes blowing the stop sign.

Dang your bad luck. You need to invest in a massive front bumper and get way better paying insurance for that truck.
