Thumbs down Blow outs and guardrails really blow.

Thank god my truck is down and it happened in the POS Town Car.

The irony is killing me though. One day, i brag that my truck is more dependable than gravity, then the very next day, the engine takes a crap.
Well...it happened again. Last night, I said to this dude..."I haven't done any dammage to this car...not even a scratch, except for the POR15 hole I had to drill in the 1/4 panel.

So picture it, 5:35 am, headin to work, Mtn dew in the cup holder, Little Debbie honey bun in hand, cigg in my mouth. Going up a bridge..a 50 MPH zone. I might have been flirting with 60MPH...but I think I was only 5 over.
BOOM!!!! All of a sudden the wheel is jerked out of my hand and I am making tracks in the gravel towards the guard rail. BLAM!!! Right into the friggen rail. All the junk in my car...which there is lots of it in the back seat...(had to make room for the 350 in the trunk last night) it all came flying up front, got hit in the back of the head with an unopened Mtn Dew can, books hittin the windsgield, a carb makes it's way out from under the seat and into my ankles...
Got out to look at the damage....this sucker is a tank. Hardly a dent in it. A scratch that starts at the nose...goes all the way back to the hole I had to drill in the 1/4 panel. There is another one there too. Looks like ass, but it SHOULD be way worse.
Spilled my friggen dew...I was PO'd. Then i discover the spare is flat.
Time to walk 3 miles home.



How was your day.
