Congrats to you !!

I thought mine was ready for its first road test and the condenser crapped out one mile from home , had it towed back home red faced .fix that issue and had a successful second road test along with 20 dollars worth of fuel . I've found the truck is a good place to get rid of extra money too !! Ha ha , right on for the accomplishment !!
