What did you do to your truck today?

I think I'm going to go clean the snow off of it and go buy some calcium chloride.

FOR SHAME!

Deicing and freezing point depression

By depressing the freezing-point calcium chloride is used to prevent ice formation and to deice. This is particularly useful on road surfaces. Calcium chloride dissolution is exothermic, and is relatively harmless to plants and soil; however, recent observations in Washington state suggest it may be particularly harsh on roadside evergreen trees.[6] It is also more effective at lower temperatures than sodium chloride. When distributed for this use, it usually takes the form of small white balls a few millimeters in diameter, called prills. Solutions of calcium chloride can prevent freezing at temperature as low as −52 °C (−62 °F), making it ideal for filling agricultural implement tires as a liquid ballast, aiding traction in cold climates.[7]

Backed into the front of a semi when I was backing out of the shop. No damage to the semi, but I have a new dent in my rear bumper where one of his recovery hooks hit.

(Note to self: no matter what the guy guiding you out says, check your fwonking mirrors.)

Always check your mirrors. Hell, I get out and look myself if I don't believe the person guiding me.

I would have put a new dent in his bumper.

That sucks... sorry to hear that...

 

[That Crazy Squirrel]

No big deal actually. The bumper (mine) is 1/4" diamond plate painted white. The dent I don't really care about, and I can touch up the paint with the rattle can of Rustolem white I keep in the truck just for those kind of things.

failed emissions

Ouch, that sucks.

yes and no, yes because one of the failed tests was the vacuum system and I don't have a fwonking clue about it. no because the other part was a new gas cap.

failed emissions

what is this emissions you speak of>>>>>

you lucky bastard. does texas not have emissions?

 

[drperry]

Nothing yet... But I'm about to go drive it to Best Buy to get a new phone.

 

[OldCracker29]

I'm finally going to drive it somewhere besides around town.
