I Don’t have one of those new iPhone confession apps… Mostly because I don’t have an iphone, So I figured I would just confess here. Ok, here it goes:
It has been forever since my last confession. My sins are mostly minor. I’ve always been amazed at how being short, fat and ugly can really go a long way in keeping you from sinning as much as you would like to. Ahem! Sorry Father, I meant to say as much as… Well, you know what I mean. Ok, here goes:
There’s the drifter and the cheerleader in the backyard and as far as temptations of the flesh, I’ve basically patterned my life after Charlie Sheen.
I drink, but only to excess and on the internet I usually pose as a 13 year old girl.
But as I said. All that is minor. The reason I felt compelled to confess… The guilt that is tearing away at my soul. The reason I had to seek forgiveness from a divine authority is because in a moment of weakness… I bought one of these:

 (not this one. I don't have pics of the one I bought yet.)
 
I know, I know! How could I? But I needed a small truck for gas mileage and this was affordable. And after a test drive, I… Oh Gawd help me, I liked it! It was like after a night of heavy drinking when the bars have closed and your staggering around the parking lot and all the women have turned down your advances and all that your left with is the confused young man and in your drunken hazy mind you think… What the hell, “shes” in a dress.
Um… Yeah, probably shoulda confessed that one too, huh. Don’t judge me, Padre, need I bring up the altar boys? Didn’t think so. Oh well, lets stay on task here.
Anyway, the truck is a 1990 Toy… Toy… I said don’t judge me!
It’s a Toyota pickup! There, I said it! Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go take a shower now… I feel dirty. :)

No, thats just a pic I got from a google search. Havent gotten any pics of the one I bought yet, but one of the things I like is that it has the nice, cheap, stock wheels on it with nice CHEAP stock size tires. I was looking at replacing the 35's on the Explorer and its gonna have to wait until I can sell a kidney or one of the kids or something. :) Plus, I can use the truck as my daily driver and finally park the Explorer to finish working on it. The only thing I'm going to do to the truck is play with the stereo and lights.

Quote from Homer in the confession booth:
I wiped a booger on your shirt, I made a dog and a cat kiss, I swiped a bolted down tv from a holiday inn, I coveted the wife in Jaws 2, I lied to a waiter, I masturbated 8 billion times and I have no plans to stop masturbating in the future. Woohoo I'm clean! In your face lord!

LOL, confessions are always good... just add buying a toyota to the masturbating 8 billion times thing, say your hail mary, and off you go :)

Well, I picked it up on Saturday. Got the topper back on it and headed for home.
The reason the owner was parting with it was because there was a "vibration in the front" and she didn't have the funds or time to fix it properly. Add to that the broken windows from the truck being parked in an alley in a quaint, up-scale neighborhood (Off of 1st and Federal) And she decided it was time to part with it.
So I happily ordered the windows on ebay, bought a front end rebuild kit and assorted stereo components and I was ready to go.
Hop in the truck and drive away. Wow, I thought, Its vibrating pretty bad and it feels like it could be in the back instead of the front. Hmm. I decide to avoid Federal and limp it home on side streets. I turn west on first ave. and get a couple blocks and:

BOOM!!! rattle, rattle, rattle... Engine revs... Crap!
I coast to the side of the road as quickly as possible and look under it. Just as I suspected: The driveshaft that SHOULD be attached to the diff is laying on the ground. CRAP!!
Call back my buddy that had went with me to get the truck so we can push it onto a side street and call dad to bring tools. Have I mentioned the GREAT neighborhood were in?
Buddy hauls me to the nearest auto parts store for a U-joint while we wait for Pa to show up with tools. Get back, Jack up the back and... The u-joints ok. It was the bolts from the yoke that had come lose and finally broken off. Yea!!! Wait... Crap!!! We don't have bolts! Hop in the Explorer and drive down Federal and find a tiny little forign junk yard south of alameda with a really cool guy working there that says he doesn't keep the bolts, but would let me look through a 5 gallon bucket of bolts to see if any are right. Found em! Gave the guy a few bucks beer money and headed back.
Its an amazing thing about these drive shafts. If you actually put four bolts on them and actually tighten them down... They dont vibrate! Whoda thunk it, right? I know!
Anyway, the rest of the drive home goes off without a problem and I'm now doing the regular maintenance stuff to get it ready to put back on the road. The joke is true though: Do you know what a mouse is? Its an elephant designed by the Japanese.
The thing is small! But is should be ok on gas and prius-like compared to the Explorer. (minus the whole driving off at full throttle against my will part, I hope.)
