Default Jersey boys failed attempt to take out Wheelhop

Jim sent me some pics to post for him of the "warm" welcome he got while out in New Jersey.
I'll let him elaborate on the story.

Thats what he gets for trying to invade us. What makes Jim think he can just cruz into town, from Chicago, and think he's gonna get out in one piece? It boggles the mind. I was kinda surprised the whole truck wasn't melted into a big pile of rubble. I mean, this is New Jersey

You can't tell from the pics but, the paint on the rear quarter of my truck is bubbled, the door paint is bubbled and the front fender. Even the rear tailight assembly looks like it is swollen from the heat.
The tires look fine but I wonder about compromising the strength of the sidewall with that much heat.

Mom always said "wear clean underpants and don't park next to out of state rentals and Corvairs".

Maybe Rose ordered the hit after he heard I was parting out an orange el camino!!
