Default Missing my truck

2 weeks ago tonight i snapped my axle and meanwhile it is being fixed I've been looking at all the beautiful trucks on this site. Bad idea!!! Makes me miss mine that much more! Has anyone else had to go an extended amount of time w/out their trucks?

I believe he was having way too much fun on a snow cover parking lot and smoked the curb!

Why is it taking so long? Axle should only take a couple of hours to replace.

I know the feeling... I snapped mine a few weeks ago, I open my garage in the morning to pull out and see my truck staring me down.

I got hit in my Ranger (which I'm back to driving now) 2 years ago, and it spent 4 months in the body shop, ended up finding a bed in Mexico that wasn't rusted... now my gas door is in Spanish.

Mostly waiting for parts. What's holding it up now is it needs a caliper and set of brake pads and those were not included in the original estimate so it needs the adjustors approval before they can slap em on there.
