I was looking for an Apache 4x4 Truck on Ebay and came across an apache style Suburban Carry-all. I had know idea there was such a thing back in the fifties and earlier. I knew it would be a hard sell "to you know who" for this kind of toy. It wasn't long after that that I figured out that instead of only putting half of the family in a pickup I could easily fit the whole family in an old 'Burb. So I searched and found one about a year later and took the big step. I had never owned an "old ride" before so had know idea how much fun they could be and not just for me. Believe it or not it has become a member of our family ( B.O.B. Big-Orange-Beast). We have made some wonderful memories going to the ice cream stand as well as taking Sunday joyrides. Our record is 13 people going for ice cream. It was pretty darn crowded and wouldn't go over that, but I can say there were 13 smiling faces and it wasn't the ice cream putting it there. Some of my brothers think I 'm nuts, but all of my nephews and nieces think it's pretty kick @%. My kids, (Hunter-10, Paige -11 and Peyton-4) argue over who's first car it's going to be. I don't think my wife would drive it, but I know she cherishes the memories were making.
Thanks for all of the helpful advice you have given me in the past and hopefully more in the future. Bongo
