Do you drive your truck daily?

[KShortell]

Well, she's not a museum piece and gets used as what I call a "semi-daily" driver. It gets driven to work on occasion, but never in salt these days. It sees regular duty as a tow vehicle. Until 1997 or 98, it was the only vehicle I had. It was around that time that I bought a "salt car". Now that I'm back out of the "salt belt", I traded up from a "salt car" to a Jeep as a second vehicle. It sees use as the daily driver. I must admit that Jeeps are loads of fun!

For security, the keyless entry system has an integrated starter interrupt that kills the starter unless unlocked with the keyless entry system. This was an easy installation since the truck came with factory power door locks. Added security comes from not living in an urban environment, a good neighborhood watch, a Shepherd X security system named Sandy (grrr!), and from the Suburban body style itself. The 6-CD player is a stealth installation and out of sight. I still have the '86 factory stereo in it even...

I do take the truck up to the All-GM Nationals every year. She still shines up pretty well... (June 2003)


See, it actually hauls more than groceries... (May 2004)
