    One and the same, came back with better manners, and fewer stories.

    It's been a rough winter buying that truck tapped me out, right now I'm down to my last $7.00 in my bank account. Had to do a bunch of small repairs to get the truck passed on this recent safety inspection and just finnished up this morning and plated the truck this afternoon had to remove the insureance from my pick up to swing it.



    I now have some competition, the guy has a trailer and does not take cars without wheels, which is almost everything on the reserve - aluminum rims are an easy case of beer.

    Wont know what the weight is until I hit the yard with that load, for the curious the truck empty weighs 8780 kg currently has 1/4 tank of fuel.x 2
