that, plus 2 rearends, misc other small things, two converters... the last being over $700 and drop kit etc etc etc... it adds up to a lot LOL...

but yes, those are mistakes. I should have just bought my rcsb '00 back after it being wrecked, I'd be well into the 11's by now with that thing

If a dude asks me to drive my truck I say "sure, as long as I can ride your wife!" (if she's hot). My wife doesn't even like being in the truck with me because I'm always telling her to move her feet off the rug, don't put your hand there, there's no way you're bringing that doughnut in here, etc. She still busts my ***** and asks to drive it from time to time, just to be a pain in my *** though.

I'll let people move it from one spot to another, but nothing that involves hitting the gas. I know its just a truck, but is 20k for a new one just 20K?

I would just tell them that the tranny is starting to slip again! They'll understand.

Nobody asks. They are scared and/or know I will say "Nope".My wife will drive if I have been but, she doesn't like to. She won't do anything fun while driving either. Speed limit, hands at 10 and 2

Same here. Eight years and I have never been asked. In fact, in 8 years only three people besides me have driven it ever, and they did not ask: the guy at the smog shop (twice), my brother because I wanted to hear and see it going down the road at WOT (once), and one of the owners at work because they were in a bind. (once)

Couple weeks ago my girlfriends uncle asked to take my truck 100 miles to pick up some furniture. I felt bad for telling him no but that was a hell of a long way to go and the only time my girlfriend even drives it is when i'm with her. He kinda acted like he didn't understand why but it's not like i'm drivin around in a $1500 truck.

I was thinking about it and i want to put a hard bed cover on it so if someone ask for me to help them move or borrow it to move i have a good reason. And it will look good too.
