He's low maintenance. Noiw take that flashy Heartthrob; now there's a guy who defines high maintenance. Always needing a wash and wax job. Armorall on the tires and vacuuming the interior constantly. Oh, he's a looker for sure. But I'd be terrified of leaving him in parking lots to become victimized by door dings or hail. <BR/><BR/>Also, get him in out of the rain to avoid waterspots. Fun to look at, but I'm thinking Big Red is all form over function. Old blue, on the otherhand, you can load him up with all kinds of tasks. He just keeps on working hard.<BR/><BR/>;)Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06487228375145939026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-255670630427934848.post-35877706626955469682009-01-08T21:57:00.000-06:002009-01-08T21:57:00.000-06:00Oh Bob , my neighborhood is just a mighty fine mix...Oh Bob , my neighborhood is just a mighty fine mix of all kinds of interesting folks.

(We have plenty of them here, too.) Old Blue may fit the profile. Of course, the other one doesn't. These are all good detail images about the character of the trucks.
