    I was talking to a guy with a nice 379 in Jersey. This is like 8 or 9 years ago. I was asking him about a third fuel tank he mounted on the passengers side.

    I was going " You really like to cruise eh? Buy a lot of fuel where it's cheap and just keep going. This is a really beautiful truck."

    He says " Wanna buy it? I'm going broke driving it. I get 5 on a good day."

    Regular posters on here all know why, don't we. We promise not to tell certain individuals.

    Last pay week, Thurs., Fri., Mon., Tues., Wed. I spent $318.00 total for the week. What's going on here?

    I was always told I could to H*** for fibbing as well as stealing.

    That's all I have to say about that and it is probably too much.
