Had a call Sunday morning to pull a truck out of a ditch. The dude put new brakes/calipers on his truck but apparently didn't know you needed to bleed the calipers

The entire drivers side up to the A pillar is beat to **** from sliding down a tree

Seems like they should seat belt in? Or is that a silly question?

My Ex is going in for new heads, studs, updates and deletes this week.

I'm feeling giddy! But I'm going to be without the big girl for a week.

They do, it's a perfect fit for seatbelts.

Had my offer accepted on this 03 f250 5.4 4x4 4.10 truck. Will be putting a brand new Bradford Built flatbed on it and cleaning all the decals off it and detailing it up to turn around and sell. Should work out pretty well I think. Very well maintained fleet truck that doesn't have a scratch or ding in it. Wish I could keep it for a new plow truck...but oh well

Vacation time finally here, car is detailed and ready to go.

I may need some diversions on the 95 corridor. Any volunteers? TOM? Passing your exit about 11am on Thursday.

I'm in!
I'm working straight late shifts this week so lunch could definitely fit into my schedule. We have lots of nice old twisty back roads to play on too........if you think that little buggy can keep up with my Metro.

I could never own a black vehicle, too hard to keep clean.
