New guy with a good story

[c30]

Recently, the wife and I decided that we needed a new gas grill. So we decided to take my 1967 c30 flatbed. My truck is an unrestored bully with original paint and is in perfect running order except for the tranny kicks out of second gear.
While driving to the home depot my wife says "I hope nobody sees me riding in this pos".
I told her that I get comments on how cool my truck is everywhere I go. That I can't go to the gas station without somebody coming up and commenting on how much they like my truck. Her reply was that she did not believe it.
So we purchase a fully assembled grill and I pulled the truck up to the doors of the store to load. I had her wait in the truck while I went back inside to get the grill.
When I came outside there was a small group of guys talking to the wife. While shaking her head in disbelief, she informs me that these guys love my truck.
My comment to her was a simple "Yes dear, I know"
