Alright so i bought this truck from a little china man it was in a bit rough shape but hey its a toyota so it will go forever, i only have one picture of it as i bought it and it isnt very good.
I decided to be an idiot and park on the front lawn for some reason.
1992 Toyota Pickup
3.0L V6 3VZE
5 speed manual
31x10.50x15 cooper discoverer S/T's
We had a freak snow storm/blizzard in the middle of april in a 20 minute stretch from home to work along the highway there were numerous vehicles in the ditch, including a greyhound a few semis, and tonns of passenger vehicles, for a week tow trucks would not operate because of the shitty conditions.
that bit of snow is what started off the shitty weather streak, for 2 days we were showered upon by rain everything was glare ice, i had made it to work just fine the first day, the second day i was less fortunate, i was about 5 mins away from work when i lost control on the ice and slammed into a gaurd rail
i was not hurt, the gaurd rail took one hell of a beating, the truck stayed running and the cdplayer was still even playing, so i phoned work got a friend to come pick me up, worked for half a day then got my mom to pick me up and take me to the tow shop to get it schedualed to be brought to a local shop, for a week i was foot bound couldnt get to work, and walked all around town dealing with my truck and what not, so the shop took a look at it and said it was mostly cosmetic damage and should just be brought for an alignment. So i took it a block over to have an alignment done and well the tire shop basically laughed when they saw it, it was gonna need 2500$+in parts plus labour, i got a friend with a car trailer to bring tit o my dads where it sat till i figured what i was going to do with my poor yota. I was able to put my prelude back on the road since the snow was gone so i didnt have to fix my truck in a hurry to get it back on the road.
I had figured out what i was going to do...
