Reaffirmed she was still sitting in the garage, after getting back from my 4,600 mile, 2 week vacation/trip.

Last Monday, I went to visit my friend in North Carolina. As we were headed back to her place from her work, we got in an accident, as seen in the picture. Than got to spend Tuesday going around with her getting quotes to repair.
$1-2K to repair, depending on the shop. Too bad I was only there for a limited amount of time, or else I could have taken care of it.

I actually did this 2 or 3 days ago but I've been admiring them since, so it counts...

I got the 2 front bucket seats and the center console out of a 95 Dakota Sport for FREE from some nice old guy who was selling it. I just called him up and asked if he wouldnt mind trading my 60/40 bench seat for his bucket seats if I did all the work and he said okay so I swapped em the other day and I love em. They look sweeter, feel more comfortable, and almost kind of hug me while I'm driving. haha so thats what I did to my baby the other day.

I bought my truck a new offroader partner. A 2001 Suzuki Grand Vitara 4wd with 4Low. We needed something with better gas mileage.

I got my carpets clean (finally) that may not sound like much but, I bought this truck in December, the previous owner was a heavy smoker. I've been fighting the smell for months. I dlready trashed the head liner. No the carpet doesn't smell anymore. I used a product called "Folex" it is desfned for stain removal. But the guy at domdepo said it works on odor as well. He was correct.

Looked at it, again.
Friend is in another state visiting someone. As soon as he gets back, I need to bleed the brakes.
