Public reaction to the old truck sometimes surpises me.
Ol Blue:
 Whenever I drive the old truck and park it somewhere, most times one or two, or more people make a positive comment. Mostly guys, but surprisingly, many women. I guess they like the patina look. LOL. I always say thank you, and try to engage them in a conversation. But I'm happily married, so that's as far as it goes. So what I'm saying is, get an old Chevy pickup if you're older and want a girlfriend. You never know....Hahaha. Edit: I bought the "Chevrolet" decals for the grill. Couldn't leave just the "V" painted in.

Re: Public reaction to the old truck sometimes surpises me.
EVERYONE loves a rusty old truck.
I always get a kick out of little kids pointing out my heap. Even at the age of 4 or 5, they’ve learned what’s “normal” and quickly point out to their parents, what is Not Normal to them. I hope that grows with the next generation. |

Re: Public reaction to the old truck sometimes surpises me.
Some days I get a lot of waves and thumbs up others no one even seems to notice it's an old truck. Strange. I drive it almost daily so I'd rather not have the attention but it's part of driving it I guess

Re: Public reaction to the old truck sometimes surpises me.
Being an antisocial misfit with the personality of a water buffalo, I find the forced conversation/pleasantries to be mostly uncomfortable. In the theme of challenging my idiosyncrasies, I try to work through this sociological pattern the best I can without offending the individual. But damn, sometimes I just don't want the interaction!

Old truck = chick magnet. Add a pup and it's extra strength.
