The fact that you made a continuous run on sentence out of a day of continuous problems made it especially fun to read. Good story.
yea sounds like u have been there yea me to thats just a mouth full of word i say all that in one breath
o just wait it might get worst yea i no the day i drive every thing is all good make it worth it which is very few
And I thought I was the only one that had a gas tank fall out! Cody, ya just got to work the bugs out! Didn't sound too bad for a first drive! You made it back home driving the car!
