This is to much!!!!!!
Friday nite my buddy smokes my 79 with his 2x4 bowtie
a little rolling drag race on the 4 lane. Didn't like it but I did build his engine quess I did a good job huh. Then Saturday morning I take off from a 4 way stop nice and easy BAM blew the rear drve line. I'm only 2 blocks from the shop so I walk over to get my wrecker it's gone they left me the Chevy
So I go pick up my Bronco drag it to the shop catch all kinds of greif from the bowtie sissy boys. I haven't had this Bronco very long but I noticed it had new rear drive shaft also it has a huge pile of recipts in the glove box so I got to looking at them. The previous owner put 15 ujoints in this truck in the last year.
I usually check a vehicle out completely after I get it but I got a case of the Lazy @%% on this one. The recipts showed this guy started having problems with ujoints right after replacing the drive shaft. Sure enough slip joint 1/4 turn out of sync rear pinion yoke wasted from all those joint failures. This weekend has been a nitemare Can't wait for Monday I've got tow a Z71 to OKC all will be right with the world my 94 super duty dragin a Chevy and my Bronco will be back on the road.

Temporary setbacks are to be expected. And thast all they are. Besides, I don't bother to race bow-ties. Ever notice that even if you just happen to roll past one, the driver seems to take it as some personal offense because your Ford was half a car length ahead of him for 300 feet? All of a sudden, there they are, pedal to the floor, screamin' past you. I always look at them and wonder just what they think they are proving and moreover...why do they feel the need to prove it?
It ranks right up there with the Suburban that rolled past the Ford dealer lot while the wife and I were picking out the new Mustang. Goofy numbnut hangs out the passenger window of the 'Burban and hollers, "Ford Sucks!" Now that took brains...intelligence even, yeah right. If all Chevy owners are that bright, I'll keep on buyin' Fords. It was a nice afternoon and three couples standing near each other (wife and I included) just shook their heads and chalked it off the to bow-tie mentality...or lack thereof. One of the other guys looked at me and said, "Better to hold your tongue and be thought a fool..." and together we both finished the statement and said, "than to use it and remove all doubt"!
