Good to hear you survived. Sue the crap out of her insurance Co. for
reckless endangerment. You can send my share to my PayPal account.

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.

No - gas. I won't buy one of the new diesels based on a lot of
different horror stories I've heard.

Everybody but one or two know that the GM trucks run Duramax Diesels. Built
by Isuzu. As opposed to Dodge and the Cummins and Ford with International
diesels.

Those fords are so ugly, the it blinds drivers entering the freeway. ford
should be sued (but they got no money) by blinded women. sue the owners of
those blinding fords also.

That's what we need in this world...more resourceful people.
Sure makes that 'merican infatuation with 'gotta have more power' look
silly.
