Good bye fair friend

Hey guys, sad news here at Bussie's house. The other nite I was in the back of the house in the TV room watching some TV with Daddy. Mommy was in the big bed in the front of the house reading and listening to some tunes when she heard trucks outside. After a bit she realized they were sitting out in front of our house she peeked out the window but couldn't really see anything. So she got up and poked her nosy head out the front door and saw 2 fire trucks sitting there running with their lights on. She kinda freaked because she figured our neighbor had had a heart attack again - so she stuck her head out further and realized there were a bunch of firemen standing in front of our driveway - so she stuck out even further and realized they were holding hoses!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So she freaked out and yelled for Daddy and they went out way at the other end of the house into the garage and opened the garage door to see ------ the firemen hosing down our now burned out truck.



This is what used to be my beautiful truck



The lovely maroon truck that replaced my old green truck



Sigh I have such fond memories of r-i-d-i-n-g in my t-r-u-c-k



This is where I used to sit



And this is the window I used to hang my head out of

How could this happen?!?!?!?! My Mom wants me to warn anybody out there with a Ford F150 Truck - this was caused by the cruise control stuff under the hood. It caused an electrical fire that burned my poor friend beyond recognition. There is no hood left - it melted. Some of the window glass actually melted down the sides of the truck. The front tires melted off and the rims even melted a little. If you own a Ford F150 truck click here to see if your truck has an outstanding recall for this problem.

We were lucky me and my Mommy weren't going for a r-i-d-e when this happened!!!!!!

Here's more pics from when they towed it away

OH MY GOD Bussie, the exact thing happened to our car only last Wednesday. I cant believe your truck went up just like our car. My dad B was in ours when it happened.
Isn't it an absolute awful feeling.

Gosh, I cant believe your post is just like ours but we didnt take photos because it happened about 5 minutes away from our house.

Oh Bussie! We are so glad no one was hurt except the bussie truck. We hope your mom takes those Ford Truck people by the neck and shakes them hard! We'd suggest you ask them to pay you for the emotional damages, except we know from the newspaper they don't gots money.
