When is a truck ruined? About two seconds after the crusher flattens it. Until that point, it either always has potential, is exactly what the owner wants, or is on the way to being what the owner wants.

Opinions about what's right, wrong, good or bad about trucks in general is like saying "I only like to sleep with Brunettes. I can't see why anyone would want to sleep with a blond or a red head. In fact, I think all women should be brunettes, because blonds and redheads just don't do a thing for me. I don't like them, I don't think they're attractive, and I can't see how anyone else would either."

When I was back in college, a friend and I had a conversation along those lines. He said to me "I can't figure out what type of women you like...Me, I'm a **** man. I really like a nice ****. But you've dated all kinds of different women--big girls, thin girls, blonds, brunettes, very light skinned girls and asian girls. You don't really have a "type."

I said "Yeah I do...I like girls! Big ones, little ones, blond ones, brunette ones, light ones, dark ones. I like girls!"

My opinion on vehicles is about the same. Now, I know a lot of people don't like particular types of trucks/girls, but that's just fine. A) more for the rest of us and B) if you all liked the exact same trucks/girls I liked, you'd all be driving '62 Suburbans, and you'd all be dating my wife. I'd have a very large problem with both. So, since variety is the spice of life, how's about we all just look at particular trucks/girls, and if we like 'em, oggle them a bit in appreciation. And if we don't, remember that some other guy looks at it as his pride and joy, and who are we to criticize? Look what we're riding around in/with!
