sankie1 Irvine, KY 68, joined Dec. 2011	Was driving through town the other day and almost got sick. A truck had pulled out of a service station about the time an El Camino rounded the corner. El Camino was rocked up on two wheels and held there by the drivers side of the pickup. Sad sight. Made my stomach roll to think of all the damage.

And a lifetime hobby of cars and trucks! The thing Bub's girl should look at is when she first drives, law restricts how many kids she can take with. And if she starts with a truck she fixes up great..it is an investment for a later ride. Or..Just find her the movie..I think..called Six Pack Annie. Gal who tooled around in a pickup. Boys are nuts over trucks these days. So if she pulls up in a cool truck..she will have a ton of them hovering around her. I learned over the years...real men want real women..not dumb bimbos.

Gee..guess what happened. Neighbor heard and saw..came over with his 9N, drove in front, hooked up and pulled out tractor AND car and took off with a wave. Rode right over the mud.

Had a little 2 bottom plow and a disc and a drag for the vege gardens and a back blade and a scoop for the snow..... She was a sweetheart.

Ran so slow, but talk about pull! That tractor could have hauled a traction engine across the field I think! Guy should be around one of these days to haul out the 66. Before snow I hope. And now he saw what dealing with, hope he brings more than a come along like others. I need to get into the car barn and jack up the roof. Broken rafters again and right over the 48 coupe!!!!ARGH!!!

orz Portage, WI 66, joined Jul. 2010	Dad got the brainstorm once to use the tractor to break tracks through the snow in the driveway. So he went down to the cold garage and got it to start. Shoveled the doors open to get it out. And found out that a tractor with narrow front end and high tires went through snow worse than the station wagon did. Back in garage and gave up that brilliant idea. lol.

Leave the trani fluid where it is and worry about it in spring. Car insurance is due for 6 months on Dec 2nd so need to drop to storage charge. Close enough I doubt truck will be driven anymore. Tenant was up talking to boarder and I. And boarder opened hood on car to show him the engine. So the usual response..tenant starts checking fluids. And car is OVER two quarts low! Border said he just had oil change at Farm and Fleet two months ago. I lit into him...dont you ever check stuff! Want to blow this one up like the Nissan idiot!!! Now...Chrysler Sebring has 160k only. Doesnt smoke. So..oil drips? Or did Farm and Fleece not put all oil in? Did they even do change? WE told him take it into Steve's from now on! Screw idiot kids at box stores. I rooted and all oil was non detergent 30. But did find one detergent 30 to add. Now Joe said these new engines die on heavy oil. Use 5W30. Manual does say 10W30 in summer. But 30 weight better than low over two!
