This reminds me of my experience with Irresponsible government. I stopped on the side of a street at a garage sale. This other car stops going the wrong way on the road the directly opposite my car and an elderly couple get out. Soon there's a roar of a fire truck who comes down the street but can't get through between both cars. The fireman yells out his window demanding the older man to move his car but the guy was shocked and just froze in place. The fireman just went on between the cars and I heard metal screeching. Once the truck got past the cars my mirror had been torn off. The fireman told me to wait and they'd be back. The elderly couple drove off without a care. After their call they came back and had me fill out papers to submit to have my car fixed. Whenever I called the firestation I got the run around and nobody knew how to handle the situation. Meanwhile the police would pull me over 3 times because I didn't have a mirror. I finally had the repairs done myself to stop being pulled over. I paid for the repairs as well and never got the fire department to reimburse me for hitting my car.

The story behind this truck is freaking awesome man!! I’m glad you were able to get it back after it was stolen. I’m glad you decided to rebuild it after the wreck with the state trooper. Sucks they didn’t pay for it like they said they would. But all in all thru everything that has happened to you and this truck you are an absolute boss for keeping on keeping on and still keeping the truck around and always fixing it. Now that’s true dedication and determination!! You sir are the definition of a true racer! That’s awesome man. Somebody PLEASE sponser this man!!

Really feel for Jessie having his vehicle smashed repeatedly. Must be hard to find the determination to keep fixing and spending money to fix it time and again.

Met Jessie at SDX last year or the year before, brother has one of the coolest drag trucks out there. Drives it to the track, beats the heLl out of it, and drives it home. SAVAGE!
