Trucks make friends

I have been using my '65 as my primary vehicle for less than a week, and already it's helping me make tons of friends.

I have already had to haul some carpet for a guy and been asked to pick up a refrigerator....

Why didn't anybody ever want to hang out with me when I drove a '92 accord??

Did your Accord have a 5" AutoMeter Tach, cut springs, and a coffee can exhaust tip?

You need to learn the saying - "Yes, it is my truck and no, I won't haul your sh|t"

Chicks dig trucks. I've seen bumper stickers that say "yes, this is my truck. No, i will not help you move".
