sally’s dark past
When we first got Sally she was pretty much all there but she had the shakes and was pretty much like an ex-junkie in withdrawal. Her tolerances were shot and she was pretty tired. Doors wouldn’t close properly and the gaps were bad. It was going to be a lot of work getting her back on the road to recovery. Even her ride was awful. She was rattly. Drum brakes faded bad and the c4 was lacking power.
So we set off at tightening her up. Having her undergo major surgery. She was going to be the better for it. We on the other hand would have to strip her down and expose all her hidden problems. Things best seen when all have been removed.
As innocent as she seemed I was pretty sure that she had quite a sordid past. Now we had to see how sordid and how we would correct it all.
Well I always wanted a vert and it was so hard to find one here that wouldn’t cost an arm and a leg so when Sally presented herself I took her in.
(Note: The carrier who took her in – Viray Trucking – actually banged up her driver’s side door leaving a visible gash. Unfortunately I wasn’t there when they hauled her in. Have been hearing bad reports about them so be warned.)
