My Poor Truck
« on: August 28, 2014, 04:09:14 PM »
Same thing. Opposite side. Old man got me in the Publix parking lot.

Poor Bessie. I told her everything would be okay. Pet her dashboard the whole way home ...

After 4 years of Red Wing there will not be a straight fender, it will look like a raisin only in red.

Oh forgot about the doors thats another 2yrs.

'Coarse I'm gonna be needin a new truck after all this madness. Which brings us back to the "Send a starving small businessman on a much needed vacation before he goes postal" fund ...

It saddens me to say that donations have been less than anticipated. Shame on you ...
