Re: Priorities

My 67 C10 which is the oldest vehicle I own, is in the garage and everything else is outside including my 68 C10. It's a one car garage. three cars and two trucks that is.

Re: Priorities

Right now, my trucks sit outside. The '69 in pieces, all over town. The '96 holding down a generous slab of concrete.

Inside the garage, the wifes' 10-year old Lexus is kept warm and dry.

Go figure.

Re: Priorities

It's good to see that you at least have your priorities in line...

Honestly, though, I prefer where this guy parked his...

Re: Priorities

I tried to get the Scion out of the driveway and ended up getting it stuck in the front yard lol. When my honey got home I hooked a tow strap up to it and had her try and pull me out with her Trail Blazer...no go, it just spun. So I got Big Green out of his resting place and yoinked the Scion back into the driveway.

Re: Priorities

Redneck, that S10 seems to be set up to get some pretty decent mileage. What mpg do you get?

Mark, I'd say you have your priorities straight with the truck! Now if I could only convince you to stay away from a red interior....

22-ish city. I can squeeze 23 out of it if I take it easy on the whole tank. 28 or so highway.

Re: Priorities

CG that is funny, when I brought mine home, told the wife "Honey, we are gonna have to park the truck in the garage, because it has 37 year old paint, it can't take the sun like your new vehicle can, they've improved the clearcoat on new vehicles like 1000%." Needless to say the truck is in the garage and she even helped clear out some room to park it there. (I hope she never sees this post)

Re: Priorities

Mine has almost always been inside the garage, even during the summer. Drove my mother nutz, but my wife understood. She hasn't complained yet about a vehicle that I have brought home.
