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.

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.
