I love my truck! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

*newin72* · 07-02-2005, 01:37 AM

I have had some vehicles that I really liked before... but I got to where I hated driving, but now I drive my 72 suburban 75 miles everyday round trip to work.

when I get home, I don't want to stop. I just keep on driving, take the long way etc...

any body else have these feelings of euphoria when driving their trucks? or am I crazy?

Me too. I called another member (WNC Mountain) just the other day, told him I had a 93 honda at home full of Gas and was drivng my 71 gas hog to an appointment, just for kicks...... If this is a sickness, no meds for me!!

I usually get the feeling that I'll be stopping at the next gas station. What the heck I can draw a crowd there too.

I call it "loafing" just get in the truck and ride the back roads, looking for other old trucks.

Love driving and love driving either of my trucks. I'll be real happy when the 70 is on the road again. (well...legally on the raod

).

Yep! That's how I found my 72' Cheyenne Super. Cruisin' back roads... I roll all 4 windows down in the burb, open the floor vents and turn down the tune so I can listen to the exhaust. Nothin' better than the wind in your hair(and the occasional piece of rust in your eye

) and the sound of a V8 chevy

Just took the wife and kids out today in the burb. Just cruising around with nowhere to go. I love it.

I wish gas was $2.15; currently we are paying $0.879 a litre or roughly $3.30/US gal. I still try to drive my 'burb everyday, when weather permits.
Even the import drivers turn to look at it, although they probably have no idea what it is.

It is called "PRIDE". I know I love driving my '70 Burb and watching all those heads turn. I much rather drive the Burban than our new jeep. You do not see heads turn in the jeep. (and it is new) I also love driving my other two toys. Much more fun than the Liberty.
