Exclamation Definitely a weird problem...

I finally have both vehicles I want - a 1970 Mach I (bought it when I was 15) and now a 2000 F-250 4x4 V10 Lariat with which to pull it to the track. I am having one problem with the truck though - birds perch on my tailgate and #*%!@ down the back of my truck... it drips down the gate and pools on the bumper. Anyone else deal with this??? I'm about to prop a scare-crow in the bed!

Paint the entire truck light blue. Birds don't like to roost over water!

No... I'm at school in Austin. I am from Texarkana - it doesn't happen there. With all the F'-in hippies in Austin, I figure all the birds are reactionary left wing (no pun) environmentalists that think my truck is a monument to American excess or something...
