No joke… for the first time today I told someone how “good” my Dodge truck was. Moments later it died and wouldn’t re-start.

[qr]GaraGe fits on this map, but you know it wasn’t I. What a piss off that they are not only in my front yard, but they are also driving my car. I have been known to say that if you race on the street, “death awaits you.” Well it may be that that death looks a helluva lot like a […]
