Joe's New Toy


Our '92 Toyota Tercel was driven into the ground...literately. As Joe was driving to the dentist he heard a loud metallic pop up by the front right wheel. The car wanted to go right so Joe had to crank the wheel left to keep it going straight. Luckily he was almost to the dentist. He left it at the dentist office overnight, because he didn't want to risk driving it any further. The next day we took it to a mechanic half a mile away. The mechanic said the tire rods rusted through and that is would be $1000 to fix, which was way more than the car was worth. As the mechanic backed it out of the garage the tire rods completely broke through. The front axle laid on the ground and the wheel was sticking way out. Since we couldn't drive it "U-Pull It" came and picked it up and paid us a little money for it. We have always wanted a truck, so we ended up getting a '06 Dodge Ram 4x4, which the boys call our "Monster Truck".

A boy toy for all those boys! Awesome! And think of all the great things you can do with it too.

That's an '06? Looks so shiny and brand new! Too bad you didn't get footage of the final death gasp of your old truck. That sounds worthy of Funniest Home Videos.
