older trucks are cheap. Don't let the lose of one of your scraping tools stop you.

Total template " lady ran a red" Yammering on the sail foam, Texting, Farding her faace.

I assume you are OK? Bummer on the truck, a good used rice burner is hard to find.

Bummer about losing the truck, Hobo.

But there is a plus side to this: Now you get to scrap out the truck! (Just kidding! :P )

I hear that never happens in Saudi Arabia, have to look into how they avoid
that problem. ;)

Hope you're OK.

Don't give up. Wait and see what her insurance company offers.

Glad you're OK.

I've had really good luck with Rangers also. You should be able to find a good one for what you'll receive from insurance.

That locking bed cover comes in real handy for keeping your tools in your truck. No one can steal them. Out of sight, out of mind.

Plus, it comes in real handy for hauling deer out of the woods! Game Rangers can't see them. Out of sight, out of mind! :mrgreen:

Why is your truck leaking transmission fluid?
