Am I just paranoid ...?
« on: November 21, 2014, 06:45:14 PM »
Or is my poor truck being 'targeted'? Is there a bullseye on it everyone but me can see? Really. You can tell me.

Sadly I doubt this one's gonna get me to Red Wing ...

Could there be a "this guy has good insurance" list out on the web somewhere?   ;)

Hope you're getting all your bad luck out of the way before re-launch Doug!  If you're going to fix the Ranger yourself RockAuto.com has the best prices I've found for complete tail light assy's.  (Course you've got a little body work or straightening to do before the install.)

Funny: Old buddy I ain't seen in a while just stopped by to return some body tools I lent him so long ago I'd forgotten.

Sadly they're a lil worse for the wear ... And that P'd me off cuz they belonged to my Dad.  But it's really nothing serious, just need to clean em up a bit.

Probly be awhile fore I do any body work though. Gotta give a lil lovin to the front end first. Ball joints are bout ready to drop outa this thing.

Re tail light. This time the guy that ran into it was my shop neighbor. So I'm cutting him a lil slack. He put a replacement lens on today but it just don't look quite right to me ...? Sigh ...

You can't make this stuff up ...
