Happy May, everybody.

Seeing a group like that, Miles, makes me even more antsy to get back into a truck. That extended cab long bed in those pictures looks real good.

Looks like a good time Miles! A lot better than the cars buzzing around town here all day. The had some kind of car show for little lowered foreign cars in Somers today. Damn those things are annoying!

Sorry Tom, you can provide all the links to prius chat you want. It will never justify owning a prius

You misunderstood Miles. I was trying to point out the kind of folks you run into on other forums. Which is why I prefer to spend most of my time here.
