I am (I think...are they ever really?) done my 1 ton! I drove in to my friend mechanic to get an inspection done tomorrow. It was awesome seeing thumbs up and smiles as I rolled down main street. But I’ve become very attached to that big, black truck sitting in my garage and I feel very uncomfortable with it sitting in someone else’s shop.

As I left, my pal Jesse said, “ Don’t worry! I won’t put too many miles on it!”

I left having flashes of Ferris Bueler’s Day Off with that Ferrari!

I don’t think I’ll sleep much tonight!

By the way it took 45 minutes to get out of there as people kept pulling up and wanting to chat! I happily obliged.

I love these old trucks. People don’t stop in flocks to check out a lifted f250...
