The worst thing about that car is keeping it clean. Back cars look sweet when they ar clean, but horrible when they are dirty. I have two of them now.

My Dad and I were driving along I-10 Sunday and saw three cars from Canada. We knew they were from 'up North' right away from all the nasty crusted salt and slush spray on them.
It was sunny and about 65 here.

Ruby, I stayed clsoe to home, hubby needs the car to go to work, but I did find somebody's lost puppy!

about a block and a half away from where I found it, some old lady in a van stopped me and asked if i'd seen a tan and grey dog...

and I asked if it was little and long haired

and it was so I hopped in and showed her where i'd seen the dog and old lady and dog were reunited.

But um, I declined a ride back, mainly because the old lady had so much junk in her car it was a tight sqeeze, plus, shed left a set of dentures on the seat....

Are you kidding me? My first car (1972 Dodge) was jacked up so high it looked ready to tip over. I catch grief from the kiddies all the time because I don't drop my bubble.

According to Urban Dictionary:

1. Truf

Slang for the word "truth".

"Man that junt is sooooo drink!!!"
"Truf!"



Maybe it's an acronym?
