I expect to get hit every time I drive on 611...

Last year, some woman in a Honda Accord wasn't paying attention and almost slammed into the back of me in front of Sloane Audi-Porsche. She swerved left at the last minute...

 

So, what should I do if I get hit?

 

I've got a wood nightstand next to my bed to knock on...

 

Do you have full coverage on your white truck?

 

You told me about the 4R...

Why not? That truck's gotta be worth at least $10K-$12K! My biggest reason for keeping full coverage on my truck is being able to buy a replacement vehicle without having to finance it; If I didn't get an insurance payout for my truck, I'd be screwed right now!

 

I hope you have full coverage on that...

 

You don't know what your truck is worth? What I go by, is whether or not the cost to fully insure the vehicle exceeds half of the vehicle's actually cash value...

 

Does the tow truck have a synchronized transmission?

 

My dad generally drops full coverage once the value of the vehicle goes below five grand, except for the 1996 Pathfinder because I was driving that for the last four years we had it and he wanted to cover his ass in case I got in a wreck

 

You know I can drive stick, but I don't know how to double-clutch...

 

My dad learned how to double-clutch in his friend's 1931 Model A Ford, just a couple of years ago! He's been driving stick since the 1970s though, and every single one of his vehicles was a stick shift from 1983 to 1993...

 

My dad has owned the following vehicles with manual transmissions from 1983 to 2007...

1983 Toyota Celica
1978 MGB Roadster
1983 Datsun 280ZX
1986 Mazda B2000
1992 Dodge Dakota
1990 Mazda B2600i
2003 Honda S2000


He's also owned three motorcycles since I was born...

1997 Yamaha Virago
1999 Harley-Davidson FXDX
2009 Harley-Davidson Road King


My mom has only owned one manual transmission vehicle, a 1985 Ford Escort...

 

The car he had before he joined the Navy was a 1980 Pontiac Trans Am Turbo, but that was a slushbox; He traded the Trans Am for the Celica in 1983

 

The bumper is only six bolts, if you have jack stands or your dad can lend a hand it takes about 20mins.

 

I'll have to buy jack stands...

 

Once you get the hang of it, it’s easy. I learned on an old dump truck on one of my dads job sites

 

It’s always good to have a set anyway.

 

Or Harbor Freight

 

I had a laser thermometer gun from Harbor Freight once!

 

Is your garage bigger than your house?
