The other guys can’t say that.
Its an amazing truck.
It might have something to do with knowing how to drive a 2WD through that stuff.

You obviously do!

My '70 F250 was a 2WD, and it served as my mule all through my D-37 Viewfinder days.

BTW, Marc, A&A Tires is under new ownership. Armando bailed, but Fabian is still there.

Yeah I’ve been over there Pop. Fabian can’t be all that he was before because he has a new boss looking over his shoulder.
The girl up front is clueless. Not a fan.
On the trip, whenever I go out with these guys I enjoy telling them I didn’t have to drop it into 4 wheel drive. Makes them shake their heads.

A&A--2307 E Colorado in Pasadena?

Got a used tire there once. I usually go to Island Tire at 2754 E Colorado. I can't remember what their old name was, but they were into special and race stuff, and you would on occasion see Jay Leno in there with one of his hot rods.

No, our A&A was in Reseda.

Marc and I both used them for most everything tire-wise, but not-so-much for me now.

I, too, am not a fan.

Oh, they came in over $200 higher than Costco for new paws for Marge's LS-460, too.

I may give them one more shot when it comes time for truck tires,

We'll see.......

Yeah I’m hoping they get their stuff together, as it’s geographically desirable.
BTW got my wagon back to drivable. Still lots to do.

3 trick or treaters, 4 kids total. Looks like I over bought by a factor of 100. Not sure it's worth the effort to decorate. Wife says if you don't decorate that means you really are old. I don't want to be but I think I will be by this time next year.

100 T or Trs. They came in by auto last night; minivan rolls up, kids jump out & run up to the door, then run back to the van for a 100' ride to the next house. Repeat.

Times have changed.

Hello Tim,
How are things in Northern Wa.?
Summer is almost over here and hoping for some rain soon. Unlike Sailor who can't get a break from the rain, fighting his 5er roof leak.
Good to hang out back in July with Maria and you.
Take care,

Hi Larry,

We are doing well. 35° here at 2315. I just put a brisket on the smoker, having a night cap then headed to bed.

How was your summer?

Imo a tremendous marketing error. The car might be great and as such can stand on its own. They tried a Mustang wagon in the mid 60s and that didn't go far.
