I'd hate to be the service manager there tomorrow....he has one hell of a phone call coming!

She doesn't have one. I would lock her doors and put pennies over the key slots with JB Weld if she had one.
She's a Junior, but truth be told she's only like 2 months older than me.

She doesn't even have her permit. Nevermind a license. She doesn't have the common sense to do anything automotive related.

She said that she thought my locker was the one that the kid next to me has. I don't know how she could've gotten it confused considering the amount of pictures of my PSD I have plastered on the door.

Your wife's the lawyer. Can I sue her for nose pain and suffering?

Nah. I'll hang on to Pinkie.

Pinkie's a 95 with only 80,000 or so miles.

Plus Pinkie got a kid who WAS die-hard Toyota to admit he now likes Wranglers. I believe he said today that the Wrangler is his favorite vehicle.

Mwahaha. Another convert. Next step: Get him out of that Chrysler junk and into a Ford.

Hay pete back in high school I had a real Jeep, it was a 1968 CJ5 with a 225 V6 Buick. I put in a FULL roll cage, 5pt. 3" wide seat belts, and a 2" lift with 33" tires. It was a FUN truck, then I sold it to buy my wifes ring It was a good trade though, we are going on 17 years



Good morning CT and MA

Morning Jim, Greg, Andy, and all the rest.

Where does the line start to shoot the weathermen. Good thing I never plan my week on the forecast.

I'm pretty sure that the line is long enough that you would never get a turn. That is unless all the people in front of you are really bad shots (or want to make it hurt more )
