Whatinhell are you spewing about?

He must have some inside scoop on the details of Hunter's purchase of her truck.
Or else he's just totally opposed to the idea of buying "used".
Or else he's just another Will Sill.

I think ol' Bob jerked off before he sent the message instead of
waiting till after and forgot all about it when he was through.

IMHO, he thought the message through very well. The fact that many of you missed his point is NOT a reflection upon Bob.

He clearly understood that she had multiple problems which kept the fact that her truck has TWO brake systems from preventing a serious disaster.

That truck has two brake systems. One going bad should have set off the brake warning light. The truth is that her other system clearly had to be frozen up with rust, so she had been running with brakes on only 2 wheels until her latest disaster. The warning light for the frozen system didn't come on because she still had good fluid pressure when she hit the brakes. That's pretty poor maintenance. It's also pretty poor attention to how your vehicle is behaving. But for the grace of God, she and Bruiser could have been grease spots on a Semi driver's grill. This from someone who brags about having such great brakes on her truck that she can stop her trailer without trailer brakes.

I wouldn't want to buy a used vehicle that had been so maintained. Bob was pretty clear on that.
