So I'm rolling down the highway with the Ranger in tow cruising along
at 60. Passed an on ramp as I was being passed by a 18 wheeler. Lady
comes zooming down the on ramp yakking on the cell phone (hand held)
not paying attention until she sees me, then instead of slowing down
to enter traffic, she speeds up, cuts right in front of me, clips the
front of the truck. I jack on the brakes - trailer brakes locked up
with the trailer bunny hopping which pushed me over into the 18
wheeler - SCREECH!!

End result, truck totaled, driver's side squished - right front/left
front pushed to the wheels and the bed damn near sheared off.

Oh well - it was a nice truck.

So, this being Mrs. Wave's turn to select a new vehicle, she did.

A luxury pickup. Loaded with the same stuff in her Town Car - leather
seats, seat warmers, moon roof, extended cab, super duper stereo, full
power everything, DVD player of all things - this ain't no pickup
truck - it's a freakin' luxury car masquerading as a pickup truck.

~~sigh~~

I've been turned into a pansy.
