Nice poem, but remember, a truck is a tool. Just because you have a
hammer doesn't make it a good idea to go beating on everything you find
[I know that may be a shock, but it's true] The same goes for a truck.
I used to have a little 85 Nissan 4x4 that I beat the heck out of. I
ran that poor truck to death, and it held up admirably given the
circumstances. It did however teach me the difference between necessary
and unnecessary abuse. I learned the less you beat on a truck durning
the ordinary course of events, the less likely it is to let you down
when you truly need it. YMMV.

A truck is a truck is a truck.. until...
It pampered and used,
Taken care of and not abused,
And when it can't enter a driveway with a hump,
You might as well sell it at a used dump.
So with my little poem there, use it, abuse it and get it filthy,
otherwise
go find yourself a car 8-)
No in all seriousness, a truck that has not been "put to work" has no
purpose for me, I abuse my truck for one simple reason, I need to
have
FAITH in it.
If I break it, I fix it, and hopefully better...
