Or at least some of us did. Don Evans, Ken Weza, me. I'm sure there were more.
My truck didn't do so well. It was leaking oil like it was pissing its pants, and after lying under the truck for an hour or so with MoparNorm, we determined it's likely a frigged walrus. Er, I mean, a blown Maine seal. I mean a rear main seal. Dan and I put 5 quarts of oil in it on the way home, which was only about 100 miles or so.
The right rear wheel was showing signs of gear oil leaking and getting flipped all over the tire. I checked it, and the bolts holding the axle in were all hand loose. Ditto for the other wheels. MoparNorm wasn't too far off when he called it a Bucket of Bolts. I just wish I had the bucket to catch all of them as they fall off. The truck looks good, but was put together poorly, I fear. It's one thing after another.
Anyway, besides that, it was a fun drive until Ken Weza passed by me in his fire truck on the freeway! It didn't help when Dan said, "how come he can go that fast and we can't?"
