I had a caravan parked on the footpath for two years and it has just been sold.

I parked the ute there to get a bit of street cred.

The gate is latched so the chicks can't get in to ravage me.

She doesn't have a driver's licence herself, so I may take your advice (seeing as I am feeling adventurous) and get the alignment checked.

UPDATE:

I think this is them

If its not driven like a race car on the streets, and you live in a built up area full of ****wit tradies who drop screws everywhere (im a responsible tradie who hates getting screws in tyres so dont leave any on the rear bumper) cheap tyres are great. Cop a puncture that the tyre place says cant be plugged, yeah, annoying, but only $100. Ive had potenzas and my favourite being expensive toyos before. But that makes no difference in stop start traffic. I currently have knock offs make in north korea or usbekistan or some odd place. Got em cheap because they were bought for a track car but the owner moved up a spec. So $100 a corner. Helps if you are in with people, but cheap tyres, well, cheap good ones are the go if its a street car and susceptible for punctures.

OK so I had to look up 'Sildenafil.'

As you know, nature has a way of sorting things out.

When you are as good lookin' as I am, sometimes I can be deficient in other areas, such as understanding the meaning of big words like Sildenafil.

Yep I admit it, I find it hard to work out the meaning of words like Sildenafil

Iv’e not looked under a later Falcon,but was very dissapointed with the placement of the power steering oil piping and the trans cooler piping.Would it have been too hard to put them up a bit higher,out of the way of bits of branch and rocks.
