Well we took a beer laden run down to the rivers about and hour after it
started raining here.. pretty slimy out and fun, until I let her drive ..
she ditched my truck last night pretty good moving over fora passer by on an
old gravel farm road...
Had to get yanked out. Haven't been out to check out and "underside" damage
yet as the body looks ok fromt he window....
That's the last time I let her drive after she has drank a few..
