Ohhhh the pain

You guys remember the kdp fix and the guages, oil change, fuel filter change on that truck Jeremy called the "Road Warrior" last October? Well, she's in intensive care right now. I was pulling my boom lift on the perimeter of the city when a bus stopped for a railway crossing, so I stopped too to stay in the right (slow) lane. Just when I start driving again I thought the Germans were comin because I just got throttled from behind and being slippery out it was an instant jacknife that made a pretty fine mess out of the passenger side cab and door of my precious baby

To beat all, it was another Dodge Ram, with a 360 gasser though. I would have taken a pic with my cell phone, but i was a little dazed and confused and worried because the nose of my truck was almost in the ditch and the trailer was straddling a bloody railway track. I think maybe Daniel slipped some of his luck into one of my beers down there in Indiana! I pray that insurance doesn't write the thing off but fix it, because I'm in love with her. All the memories of us together brings a tear to my eye

I hope all you guys are doing better than me today. What the heck am I going to drive to the next TDR fixer upper/beauty pagion? Oi
