Drove the truck to work today........

I love it when I drive the truck to work. It's so loud and abnoxious in the parking garage. I work in in uptown Dallas just a few blocks north of downtown Dallas.

My son , who's 3 , especially loves being taken to daycare in it. He wants all his friends to see his "Big Truck".

You are EXTREMEMLY brave for driving in North Dallas traffic in your truck....heck, in ANYTHING. I work in Dallas on Central and hate the traffic.

Yep , It's tricky. I don't follow close and just cruise along. I drove it today because I am helping build a porch/deck for a coworker who has never done it before. Were gonna go to Home Depot during lunch and hed to his house and get busy right after work.

My 5 year old loves when I pick him up from School in my truck, he says go really fast Daddy and he gets this huge grin on his face.

I like driving my truck EVRYWHERE!!!
I don't give a sh!t if it is a beater, it goes where ever I go. I can't even remember the last time we all piled up in the wife's ride to go somewhere. We always take mine. (we just don't go anywhere)

Nice truck. Looks straight as an arrow.

I drove mine to work in Plano for 3 years, one year before I put in the AC. I wore a suit too. Only had to walk once. My fault for not cleaning the fuel filter.

My son loves riding in my truck too... back when i drove it more. I've got pictures of him helping to scuff my wheels (he was about 3) for painting as well as with a drill taking off old door seal adhesive. My daughter is a little older than my son, but she loves to ride. Just not much interest in working on it.

Started working down in Addison a couple years ago and the sitting in traffic was too much in the summer so went to a late '90s car. God I miss driving my truck daily.

as it sits now....
