Sooooo, you're that obnoxious truck driver

He's not much of a DIY'er.
Good for you...........I am constantly amazed that people do not read their owner's manual! How do you maintain or keep up with maintenance on your car? A car is such a big investment!

This morning there are some creeks flooding & some water main breaks around the area this morning but most of the rain is past other than some light drizzle/mist/freezing drizzle in few areas. But the temps are going down today. I am so over winter! Come on spring! Happy hump day everyone.

Happy late Hump Day!

Yeah - the Explorer was pretty "undriveable" after that. But the good news was that even after going underneath a tractor trailer and into a wall, I was able to walk away (after crawling over the seat and forcing open the rear passenger door) with only glass guts on the backs of both hands and a slightly strained left knee! Damn, I loved that truck!
OMG Andy, that looks scary!
