I guess we can assume you do not live in Texas, if that is what you believe

It's funny how that up until the semi-recent "truck craze" that pickup
trucks were considered "unsightly" and it was a serious community
offense to park one out in front of your house.

I wouldn't say I believe it. My dad has always had a truck, and I
have a truck, and we both park them out front. I find my truck to be
quite handsome, actually, and the chicks dig it too.

And no I don't live in Texas. Though I'm sure it'd be a nice place to
visit this time of year.

If you look on further, you see that I saw one in am old movie. SWEET!
What a great looking truck. If you redid it today with a modern suspension
I bet it would handle good as well.

Had a chance to pick up (again, no pun intended...) one of these for a
HUNDRED BUCKS! The steering wheel said, "1903-1953 Ford 50th Anniversayr"

I was 16 and didn't know squat about cars. Been kicking myself ever since...

I still don't like them, but they have their uses. Especiallly when they
look as good as this Stude.

LOL! Usually I'm pointing to a sports car or a 'classic' Toyota.

Fooled you this time, eh?

Hey, wait. Last one was one of those "new" Ford vans (that has been on
sale in Europe for years). This is certainly cooler than that van.

And once was a Divco milk truck. I STILL want one of those!
