I've been herassesd by several people now that I am past due for a blog update! I've had a fun and crazy month. School has started back, and I'm excited to get through this year, cause then I will be eligible to get my Residential Journeyman license! The biggest event of this month however has been my little fender bender in my truck! The picture may not look like much damage happened, but the estimate for repair was over $10,000!!!! Between the airbags deploying, and the cracked engine block, the old Ford is done for. I must however admit that it didn't really break my heart.....first......its a Ford!!....second, it was expensive to insure, and third, and most important, at 13 miles a gallon, I was on first name basis with several gas station attendants.....argggghhhh!!!! So after much deliberation and consideration, I went with a bright, shiny 1992 Toyota Camry!! Haha, Come on now....I think nothing screams family man like a good old 4 door sedan!! I've decided my new pick up line for Happy Valley girls is going to be, "Hey baby, I got room for a couple car seats in this bad boy"!!! Let me tell you some of my favorite features of my fine new automobile!....First, no A/C....okay, no problem..its getting kind of cold here....but wait, .....no Heater...hmmm, that could get old quick this time of year...also, It has a sunroof that doesn't open, and my window switch is falling out of my door, which is to be expected since I paid extra for that feature!!, but dont worry, cause it has a fresh Maaco paint job on it!!! Its a tight ride, i'm here to tell ya! But the insurance is cheap, its paid for, and It gets 24-30 miles per gallon.....So between my new ride and my new no Mt. Dew diet, Maverik is really feeling an economic impact!! Okay, enough of that, here's the pics!

After!!

You handled Rexburg in a bug with no heat, I think you can handle it here without heat. Are you kidding me that you called it a "little" fender bender? When you have $10k in damage it's much more than that! Let me add that I am glad you were OK :)

OK Cody...we need details of the truck get messed up.

You need a Toyota Yaris. We get 40 mpg on the open road.

That song rocks that you put on your site. Sad story, but paid for cars rock my house of honky....nothing worse than all your money being sucked into a car payment every month.

Well, it is about time you update the blog a little.

Great idea on the pick up line. Let me know how that works out for you.

Call me so we can talk motorcycles.
