My husband the crazy driver!


So my husband as many of probably don't know loves anything with a motor. I tell him he is a self made mechanic. Growing up he fixed many of the tractors and other vehicles by mearly trial and error. He loves to take anything and "improve it". He has updated a Dodge gas engine to a diesel and changed intakes etc. His newest project is to take this old Corolla of my sisters and not only get it running again but make it run on Hydrogen for better gas millage. He says once he works out all the kinks he will be doing the same to my Yukon so I can actually afford to drive the thing. As for now the Corolla is what I will be driving the kids to school in.

So yesterday he went on a 4 wheeling ride with the scouts. He kind of invited himself (I laughed) because he is the "Elder's Quorm Pres". He was just looking for an excuse to go riding his new Raptor. Anyhow he scares me to death on this thing. It tops out at 80 mph and let me tell you he tops it out...all the time. So they went up to Silver City and I guess he brought an extra 4 wheeler for a less active kid. And this kid was not very experienced so he kept rolling it on top of him. But Darrell has so much patience he would just pick the kid up and roll the 4 wheeler back up and away they would go. When he got home I could tell by his face it had been a good experience for everyone. But check out this picture...now you know why I say he is crazy on this thing! And this is normal for him!
