New tow vehicle!!

[rocco.crossing at gmail.com (Rhett Farnum)]

I think I got you all beat!! I looked at teh odometer yesterday while
working on the trucks at the garage and, "HOLY SHIT!!" I forgot it
read 25?K miles, yeah over 1/4 milloin miles!! Of course it needs some
work now though, it turns over with the battery charger but slows down
as it is turning, and there is a nice metal on metal grinding sound
while spinning. Luckily there is a good running 305 that we just
pulled out of a wreck yesterday too.
