My credo
it is easier to fix and understand than "her"
Imagine totalling out a big pickup like that. And new too! The thing looks too new to be paid for.


my truck when the original owner first bought it, went to the bottom of a lake before it even had a metal plate....

my wife took her dads truck...brand new....out to where i always went...and totalled it....the body was ok....but the water and mud in the engine, trans, t case and diffs...... severely shortened their ride home.
