This is still hands down my favorite truck ever. Period. It makes no sense at all and never should have been built, and yet here we are.

Saw “flamethrower” ... Am disappointed it’s not this

I’m not an SUV guy, but if I had to have one RR sport would be it. New or with warranty of course haha.

It’s one of those things where there was never any problem between us, he’s just naturally a hermit. I reached out to him on father’s day and was surprised that I got a response.

Thanks for having the humility to post. Reminders are always a good thing and maybe this post will save someone the same misfortune someday. Sorry you had to learn the hard lesson but at least the consequences, as you pointed out, were not as bad as they could have been.

That sucks. Get better soon.
