    Gotta make it happen one day.

    Funny thing, but that has been my immediate innate reaction since I started driving.
    Was discussing this with a friend while at BMW driving event. Some people try to break their way to safety, I've always tried to throttle my way to safety - there's always an opening if you can spot it happening quickly enough. I totally cannot text or cell phone & drive, but I can always see the out.

    I just don't want anyone sliding into my truck with my new bed strapped on the back.
    Insurance company; "what do you mean you're filing a claim for TWO beds on your truck? DENIED. LOL :violent:

    Soon to be shelving, flooring, built in tv center, beds, tables, possibly bedroom doors if I get really motivated! But I’ve got plenty to go around.

    Isn't this the weather we wanted when it was 95 degrees? Deer tracks easier to follow , you can now use 4x4 more and have more fun with your Tacoma.
    Drive safely as the first snowfall usually causes more accidents as the people who can't drive on dry pavement really have issues on the slippery stuff.
    I'm still debating if I'm going to a Xmas party tonight in Lebanon Ct tonight with the motorcycle group. Final decision at 3:00pm
    Drive safe
