truck fire..broken windshield..what a good day
well i get to the place where im working on my truck... look at this puddle under it.. and i see tranny fluid leak getting worse and worse.... so i figured might as well get it out and cruise just a bit that mgiht of fixed it..no front clip or bed.. so i couldnt be on streets very long... so i took it out fishtailed a bit.. power braked it... had some fun... took it back inside cut my floor piece out and welded her in...started smelling something burning..i thought it was just old undercoating that was burning off form welding it...turned out it was my firewall insullation that caught fire.. so it melted my antennae wire going to my cd player..burnt the insullation... i got that udner control then i was drilling holes in my floor support and my windshield slid off the table and it cracked to pieces... bad day today for me... just thought id get my anger out..... going back tomorrow after work..hope to god its a better day..

Re: truck fire..broken windshield..what a good day
When we are young we just do things, as we get older we reflect on the things we did and prepare when doing things, its all part of learning....enjoy being young it ends too fast, and as long as you don't hurt yourself or others it will leave you with some good memorys!
