Some guys have to ask, "where are those drain holes again?" I have to ask, "where'd you get all that blue shiny stuff to put around that rust hole? " I could go on like this for days.

Mostly what my drain holes are good for is letting the warm air out of the cab in the winter and into the cab in the summer.

Oh, yeah, occasionally something falls out, too. Lost a box of fuses that way just the other day. Come to think of it, I haven't seen that small child that used to go for rides with me in a while either. I promise, I'll quit now.
