Gezz. What a sad story.

I was taught from a very young age never to trust the appearance of something, especially out in the wild..whether its a pile of snow or a riverbed or what looks to be a frozen lake.

Thats probably wise Jacob. I have over 10 years of driving under my belt and I am still very cautious. When I do play its only for a minute, and only in an open parking lot.

Uh pete, where is the pictures of the new truck? I scanned your first truck thread but didnt see it. BTW I saw your "fat girls can't jump" comment. Shame on you young man.

Only thing Ive ever done stupid/fun in my truck was powerbraked for like 10 seconds on my old set of tires. It was 3am and no one else was around until the cop came driving up to the stoplight in a fog....

You get more swing out of a longer wheelbase.
hahah.
You got that right, but its no Toyota or ranger, you better know how to handle this truck, I know you do, but a lot of people have no idea how this much weight and power starts throwing you around.

Once again, way ahead of your time my friend.

What kind of drawing? artistic? That sounds fun, I cant draw for crap. I can design a home and do the blueprints fine, but let me free hand something and forget it.

Causing trouble? I'm not sure I believe that. You seem like a pretty level person.

It is nice having a bit of a break. Even nicer when its nasty outside and knowing you don't have to be anywhere at any particular time.

A lecture about inappropriateness from Lisa? Interesting.

As for where the pics are here is my answer.

I have no camera. I'm almost positive I'm getting a camera for Christmas so they'll be up after Christmas. I know it's such a long wait.

I CAN'T WAIT TIL I GET IT HOME! It's still sitting in Rhode Island right now because I have the money. It's just lent out. Mainly to dad. Dad owes me 6700$ and I only owe 6800$ more on the truck. So basically I gotta wait til dad gets a check in from the city and then he passes on 6700 to me and I pass it on to Global Auto Sales or whatever they call themselves. Come to think of it maybe they have a website I could find. Let me check on that.

Edit: Nope. No website. You'll have to wait to see her.

I LOVE Getting sideways in my truck! With more then enough room around of course... Last sunday i went out to the barn and did some figure eight hot laps out back... It was nice because i knew there was base underneath with just a few inches of slop on top... Ofcourse i was by myself so i did get any video

Yea, I got up the next morning and was scraping the rubber off...lemme tell you, it will absolutely burn some rubber. I cant remember if that was stock or if I had my old superchips on there. The cop wasnt too pleased when he pulled next to me though!

I take it you didn't notice the devil smiley and the hint of sarcasm.


Power braking in a PSD..that sounds expensive.

Tristan did my gag gift idea get nixed?

At least now I know how you feel about me...

I guess I could try to be more like most other women...helpless, demanding, and high-maintenance with a COMPLETE lack of a sense of humor.
