I am at an International truck dealership. My wife is disabled and draws an anuity from a medical malpractice lawsuit to help support my Rat habits. She is into it as much as I am. Which is a good thing.
I backed a school bus into a pole last week and bent the rear bumper, I have a class A CDL license so it was a mandatory piss test. They didn't even give me time to study for it but I past it anyway. LoL
Passed away on 12/16/2011. You'll be missed our friend. Godspeed.
