My Expedition is in the shop so the mrs. drove my '72 today. she didn't want to try to drive it into the garage, so when i came around the corner after work, this is what i saw. sometimes i get busy with things and suddenly i am reminded what a cool looking truck i have and feel very fortunate to own. i don't mean to gloat, but life is good!
