*CLOSED* TacomaWorld Secret Santa 2016!!!

Voice of experience, Cap? Something you want to tell us about your entry physical for the service? A little 'don't ask don't tell' at work?

 

Don't ask.

 

Don't tell

 

It's at the exit physical that you start learning about how bad you're going to get screwed.

 

I can respect that, and it is a completely acceptable answer

 

No fucking lie. I've been fighting a claim since 2011.

 

AND?!?!?!?!

What did Caitlyn say?

 

Truck bodies should never be made out of aluminum.

 

Mine isn't

 

Yeah, just making the engines out of it (and the beds out of tupperware) instead is a much better plan.



Honestly, if you live where they salt the roads it makes sense. I've had to give up more than a couple vehicles over the years because of body rust, so it's nice knowing that I don't have to worry about it with this truck.

 

I totally feel your pain. My '79 Olds was eaten to death by Ohio salt. Chewed her up around two layers of Ziebarting. So sad.

Yet another reason I remain in Texas.

 

The worst one for me was a '96 Nissan pickup, the old Hardbody style. Apparently not so hard, as it turns out. 4cyl extended cab, 4x4, 5 speed. I loved that truck; it'd go anywhere you pointed it and it got 20mpg's. Had 160k on the clock when I sold it, ran like a top, shifted perfectly, etc. EVERYTHING on it worked like new. But by the time it was 10 years old (when I bought it) it had started getting cancer. By the time it was 15 years old, when I got rid of it, every panel on it except for the roof had at least one patch, and the bed looked like swiss cheese. Frame was still solid, but the body was so bad I couldn't drive it on the road anymore so I sold it to some kid for $500 and he turned it into a woods bomber.

 

Just received a text from Amazon that my receipient's gift has arrived. Hope they post

 

Gross... What's wrong with you?!

What were we talking about again?

 

Seeing all these badass truck gifts makes me miss my truck more and more.

 

Lawl... I know the commuter life...

 

Wasn't even that, I live 4mi from work. Totaled it back in June.

 

At hospital waiting to be checked in. Postmaster says that the box I was waiting for just arrived but it will be a few days till I'm back home at the least so keep the faith and I will catch up with you as soon as I can.

My apologies for the delay but my infection is now pneumonia and for people with end stage kidney failure that is considered, to quote the outgoing President of The United States, "a sub-optimal situation."
