We got there and the fuel pump was out but it would run on ether ( which is a bad idea on a gas ) and the frame looked iffy but I smacked it around and decided I would roll the dice on it after he reluctantly took my offer of $350. He was a nice kid and gave me the grand tour of all his stuff and then we loaded it up and headed for home. 1/4 mile down the road I hit the brakes and apparently a tie strap let loose on the S-10 and it rolled off the trailer into the back of my pickup I called the pickup guy right away and asked him if he could help me out, he said sure and got a tractor and chain to help get it back on the trailer. The problem was it couldn't pull the front wheels over the trailer hump. I then got the jack out of my pickup and started jacking up the S-10 on its frame to get the front wheels higher and the frame crumpled like tin foil with the jack pushing on it. That's when I thought this is a bad day. We got the pickup back on the trailer and I asked if it it would be alright if I gave him $50 bucks for his trouble and gave him his S-10 back . After some talk we agreed to $100 and I kept the S-10 which I thought was gracious of him, he could have said screw you. So all in all I spent the whole day to get a rusty ass S-10 and I now I need a new bumper and tailgate on my Dodge.

Do any of you guys remember this day? Last week the S-10 received the death penalty for the crimes committed against the greater good! It took 2 years for the sentence to be carried out but death was swift!
