    Talking not my day-is my day

    yesterday we went and paid for a 4x4 dakota 1989 in very good condition and so they let us run around in the car to change all the paper work on the truck and when we swung around to the house the car threw a rod as we were going up the mountain and when i called them about it they sent a tow truck to pick up the car and me and when i got there they let me have a dealer tag to get the truck home--so nice people there .don't see much of that these days well it all worked out the truck was already paid for-it was used-and they were going to scrap the car anyway so everything worked out-im just tired from running all day
    its better to have and not need than need and not have

    That was nice of them. Are you able to get the truck fixed?

    Oh okay - I misunderstood your post. I re-read it, now I see.

    It's been a long day.
