Re: my 82 truck on the rubicon

I remember when I was sixteen.  My dad bought me a beat up CJ-5, which I promptly ran through a small river which sprayed water on my distributor and killed the motor.  Being the genius sixteen year old that I was, I cranked and cranked on it with the tail pipe under water which poor water into the crankcase, ruining the oil.  Being even more intelligent, I drove it without changing the oil for about two weeks when all of the sudden it started making this weird knock knock knock noise.  $1500 dollars and a very angry father later, I had a brand new motor in my beat up old CJ-5.

Of course, this is not even the best part.  This whole event happened while my folks were out of town and I was skipping school when I sunk it.   I got the truck back to the house and cleaned it up, and when my folks got back they were a little suspicious but not too much.  Well, one of my friends came by to "make sure the truck was alrigh" while I was at work.  Of course, my parents played him like a drum and got every last muddy, watery detail out of him.  Needless to say, my parents were very, very angry.   :smack:
