My $470.00 Iced Latte! (the tow bill was 470)
Posted by Picasa
Well, I have to tell you about my $470.00 Iced Latte from Sonic..... We were on our way to the lake, for the weekend before headed to Bristol for the NASCAR race when (1/2 mile from our house) I announced that I would like a Sonic drink....... there is a wide place in front of it, where you can pull off and park. It had rained, so there was a mud puddle... Jimmy saw tire tracks going through it so he pulled in....the front tire went through it, no problem....but when the back tires got there. the soft ground gave way and KAPLUNK! we were buried up to the bumper! the bus was leaning over so much, I thought it would roll.....luckily, Jimmy had our semi-wrecker guys on speed dial, so here came the calvary!
Unfortunately, there is nothing really to hook onto but our bumper ball, so with the steady pulling backwards, and Jimmy driving, he put it in reverse, and they slowly pulled it out!

Jimmy had to have his new lake toy! It has a hole in the middle, so you can hang your feet in the water. Even the dogs love it. We tie it behind the boat, throw out the anchor and float in the shade and sip our sodas. We spend as many weekends as we can at the lake.....we're headed to Bristol in a week or so!

I got a new car!! Isn't it pretty? Its a Cadillac STS, and the color is Desert Blue. When the sun hits it, it sort of changes color to a champagne gold....lots of metallic!

Anyway, are you sitting dowm? Jimmy decided to get rid of the Hummer, so we now have a Jeep Grand Cherokee...it's pretty cool, too...4 wheel drive, diesel and is quite a bit lighter to tow behind the bus. (better fuel mileage). We'll probably get another Hummer H1 someday......
