If anything can bring someone out of lurk mode, it has to involve not
one dead dakota...BUT TWO!!

It all started last week when I got rear ended on my way home. I was in
the 05 so right off the bat I knew the fun was about to begin.

The guy that hit me was in a govt vehicle, so he stayed for the poliece
to get there and write the accident report. After exchanging info we
went on our merry way. Next day I got 3 estimates, and called the
agency the guy worked for. 4 DAYS LATER I finally got ahold of the
insurance company that covered the vehicle. Then took another 2 days
for them to authorize the repairs.

And all this time, my 98 is DOA. Got the engine out of it, but need to
find another one to put in. It's almost a lost cause at this point.

So now i'm driving a 2005 Ford F150.... TOTAL P.O.S!! Not only is it
obscenely huge, the massive 5.4 gets a mind boggling 10mpg!!! I'm at a
loss for words, how can anyone drive this and still buy food and
clothes??? I'm going to TRY to get something different, I cant stand
needing a bucket (literaly) to get into the truck.

I'm a firm believer in karma, but what I did to deserve this boggles my
mind.

Thanks for the vent time! :)
