Slightly OT, back in the saddle again.

I was quite a regular here for a long time until I tossed in the towel on my beloved F150, and had an affair with a GMC Sonoma. She was a hot little truck, though quite finicky. Well, Yesterday she threw a temper tantrum, and decided to slide sideways, roll, the whole nine yards. I got out with very minimal injuries, but the truck is junk.

Here are some pictures

Having lost my transportation, I broke down, and apologized to the F150, who took me back with open arms. She has a few quirks to work out, but after driving her for the first time in months today, I realized that she's not as bad off as I thought. I'm gonna invest in her, and bring her back to the quality that she should've been long ago.

MORAL OF THE STORY: If you love something, set it free. If it's replacement kicks you in the cajones, then you shouldn't have set it free in the first place.

~or~

GM sucks at designing little trucks with no back end weight.

Thanks. I had to change an alternator today at the bank, then discovered a leaky slave cylinder for the driver's rear brakes.... Ah, the good ole days are back. I still like my old F150 though. You never realize how much you'll miss the cargo light until you don't have one. That sucker's BRIGHT!
