    Thread bump.

    Drove through some mud today and for a second it looked like I blew a hub seal. Fortunately I know the taste.

    If you’re parked between two trucks and you’re doing paperwork and one truck on either side begins to move forward real slowly, do you hit brakes and reach for the buttons because you think you’re moving?
