Talking 7.3 Rocket Rumor...

So I hear that Pete is finally legal to drive that beast he purchased all the parts for 3 months ago. Just thought we should say Congrats!!

Kris doesn't follow the OT. But isn't Pete stuck with driving Pinkie for 2 months first, before his Mom will let him roll out in the PSD?

I'm going to try and change that in a couple of weeks when I go up to work on his truck with him.

Thanks, guys. When I first saw the thread I was wondering what the heck was going on.

Yes I'm stuck driving Pinkie for a while.

The period of time keeps shrinking as mom rides in the car with me more.

At first she thought she was gonna make me drive that dumb Jeep for 4 months. Not quite.

I drove home from my brother's house a few times because she doesn't like driving at night and now I'm down to 2 months. I'm hoping to be in the PSD by the time it gets hot. Pinkie has no A/C.

If he wants to he can head down there when he's done with mine.

But I believe he was referring to helping me (the newbie to 7.3s) work on my truck.
