    wasn't in the cards

    My wife was driving so i got to give her kudos for keeping that big truck on the road both times, as it was the right front ... then the left front that blew.Man I love that woman, lets me spend too much on bass stuff and drives to boot! Hmmm Maybe I should hit up Nascar .. lol!
