Joe Gress is back on the road again! (New Truck Day)

Sign in to disble this ad
So some of you know my history with cars and trucks:
Good morning Joe! Your car is on its side. (with pics!)

Little Blue Car Has a Little Blue End

The little blue escort has been wrecked since September, but now, after waiting forever on the check from the insurance, Joe can has truck. 1988 Dodge Dakota. 5 speed 2wd v6 give me a ticket red. Drives like any old truck except it doesn't quite have that v8 grunt and power. I need it to get me to school everyday, so I don't need something fancy. I really like the rims on it too.



So now for the PSA:

STAY OFF THE SIDEWALKS!!! HIDE THE WOMEN CHILDREN HUSBANDS AND GRANDMAS!!! JOE'S BACK ON THE ROAD!!!


Oh, and what the hell happened to gas prices?!?!?! Last time I was driving it was like 2.69 a gallon. Its 3 here now.

Let's see...

It's probably heavy so harder to turn on its side.

Dodge makes tough cars,next time some one rams it,it shouldn't be totaled.
Once I've seen a picture of a Dodge truck buttheaded into a Hummer;Hummer was totaled,Dodge needed a few repairs.Unveliavable...

Guess this one will last longer Joe,congratulations it's a nice truck.

Good luck, Joe.

I am comforted by the fact that we live many states apart, and the likelyhood of having to share the road with you is extremely small.

On the bright side, you're less likely to wreck it. Oh, wait...you've even wrecked a parked car.
