    Nobody drives my truck except me. Maybe if I let Mallorie drive it she'll want me again...



    :eek:





    I will haul stuff for friends, but they will not be driving my truck.

    i ran into this problem when me and my sister moved out of our apartment. she was moving into my mom's across town so she decided she was going to slowly move her shit over there. only problem was, she also decided she was going to rely on using my truck without talking to me about it. I don't mind loaning it out to family once in a while if they really need it but she started pissing me off. she started borrowing it everyday for hours at a time...i would be up in my room and i'd look out my window to see my bed completely full with her shit before she even asked if she could take it... another time i let her borrow it but she ended up not coming back until midnight because she decided to go to her friends house an hour away without asking or even letting me know. let me tell you, i was fucking pissed!

    so since that experience, i'm way more reluctant to lend it out. its my baby, it makes me nervous when someone else has it!

    my attitude now is, if you think you're gonna need a truck, buy your own or rent one.

    My wife gets to drive it once in a while... and that's only because I know she can drive it (she had an '88 full-size Blazer before her current car)! No one else unless a good Samaritan finds me on the side of the road with both legs and an arm severed and has to drive me to the hospital.

    hah i never noticed the reserved sign above it, thats actually at my boyfriends house, they live in a sort of complex type thing so i'm not too sure what vehicle is next to that but we do have a lot of yotas in my family. 2 tacomas, 2 4runners and a yota van :)

    the project hasn't really come that far, we have a lot of parts sitting around for it like tires, leaf springs, axle and a motor but it is currently at my mom's house an hour and a half away so its been hard to find time to go up there and work on it.

    I let my cousin borrow my Dodge D50 back in 1982, When it came back it needed a new clutch. I have never lent out the truck again. I will probably not lend out the Taco either.

    If someone I know needs truck assistance, I'm more than happy to help them. Do it all the time. 2 conditions: I load and drive it. If my truck is available but I'm not, tough luck.... call someone else.
