Anticipating a drive tomorrow.

I'm looking to buy a useless thing from the List of Craig. That useless thing is rather big and far away, so Ill need to drive the cobweb covered truck that's been quietly rotting in my garage.

How am I going to handle this? I'm not sure I remember what it's like to drive a vehicle that doesn't require earplugs. I definitely don't remember being able to see above other people's licence plates. It's going to be like a tennis umpire's chair with a steering wheel. It's like if a car had a flybridge helm. But worst of all.. I think it has two pedals. Not sure what to do with two pedals. I don't know where to put my left foot. Maybe it can help steer or something.

I might need training wheels.

 

Left foot mounts on the dead pedal.

Enjoy your trip!

 

There have been legit short drives where I've stomped the dead pedal when rolling up at a stoplight. Never thought I would be there. And I especially never thought that it would kind of hurt. Aging appears in weird ways.

 

Most logical course of action: manual swap

 

Left foot braking like in Formula One

 

Drive took me through the dregs of North Dallas. Traffic was typically traumatic for early Saturday, but it was still enjoyable. Nice to see the Tacoma still runs like a champ.

Here's why I was willing to take the truck into Dallas. I picked up a new gadget for changing oil. This should make squeezing my fat ass under the cars a bit easier.

 

Ooooh I’m jealous

 

Maybe some sort of a soother or a cigarette to distract? How about a nagging significant other? Congratulations on the new hardware.

 

Congratulations. I've had a set since they came out. Sure beats jacks and stands.

 

The List of Craig.
