Re: Why do you drive your truck?

I drive them because over many years I've built them for customers and some of them really hit a nerve when they pulled out of the driveway and the owner had a grin like a cheshire cat and another one took it's place and I had the feeling of " OK , Here we go again whats this beauty hiding under all the orange peel and blistered peeling paint '? ...So now that I'm basically retired and moved out to the country where you can still light up the tires and not see blue flashing lights in your mirror I get the chance to remember when it was fun and not work . it gives hand sanding with a paint paddle a whole new outlook because now when it pulls out of the driveway it's me smiling like the cat who ate the canary !
