Can you blame him with his luck so far?

If anyone doesn't like their vehicle make sure its full coverage and bring it down to Angelo

One day you may have to convince him its time to quit driving. My brother and I had a heck of a time convincing my dad after he had a stroke to quit.

Yeah -- we finally had to pull the plug on my mother driving this past year. Until she sold her car no one could breathe easy because she would occasionally be caught by my sisters driving her car around town when she knew she wasn't supposed to......

The last 9 months of her driving career she totaled (3) Buick LeSabres -- all completely her fault......

He's had 3 accidents in a year but the first 2 wasn't his fault. This one yesterday was and he admits that he just screwed up.

He's also got 1 speeding ticket last month but he blamed that one on Patrick for making it run so good with shocks and plugs

Got the call that it's totalled so I went and cleaned it out for him today. Time to search for another one.

The boy is up in Dallas with grandma this weekend for his cousin's birthday party so the wife and I are "living the life" this weekend! Spent pretty much all day out in the garage puttering with the Taurus and the wife and I plan on hanging out at the house tonight and watching some "Better Call Saul" episodes on DVD.

Tomorrow I'll probably play with the Taurus a little more and maybe take the LTD out for a run. Tomorrow night the wife and I plan on grabbing some dinner at Houston's, which is one of our favorite restaurants that we don't get to go to very often now that we have a kid.....

Went to Lubbock today to mess around, heard on the radio they were having races at Amarillo drag strip. Decided to head up there just to see what the truck would do. I was pretty impressed, especially with the heat, humidity.

Lined up with a silverado and beat him by 1 second. We came back around and they tried lining us up again and he wouldn't line up with me. Ended up having to race a motorcycle.

Finally got my boat back today. It'd been in the shop for a month because it kept stalling out whenever I throttled forward. I replaced the fuel pump myself because it was originally a fuel delivery issue (fuel pump quit working - that was a fun $500 plastic part), and it was still giving me grief after that. Turns out it's the damn ethanol in the gas. Even with the Sta-bil I put in it with every fill-up, the stupid ethanol was causing the motor to vapor lock because of all the built
up residue and condensation. Pumped the fuel tank out, switched to non-ethanol gas, and it's running like new

That's a good one! I just finished detailing one in black that looks very similar.

No need for the puny EB engine when you have a Seven 627HP outboard available. Highly doubt the transom would last long but it would be a fun ride.
