Talking Drooling Chevy Owner

So I get back from Afghanistan and I finally get to take my baby out. I'm sitting at a stop light in town and a guy pulls up in a newer Chevy truck. I see the guy staring all over my truck, writing stuff down, having general "real-truck envy".

He rolls down the window, wants to know where I got everything, how big, how much, yadda yadda yadda?

I tell him, "It will cost you about $50K to do the same to your truck?" He gets this crazy look to him and I tell him, "First, you have to go get a Super Duty." He replies, "Yeah, I shoulda got one of those instead of this."

The rest is all giggles from me.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

LOVE IT!

A Salute to YOU!

Thanks.

Now to wait on my son to get home.

He just got a pic of my SD.

I could hear him drool from there.

His S10 is in the garage in my parking spot waiting on him to get back!

$10 to a donut, he trades it off for a SD.

nothing like a hot/sandy/crappy place to make ya wanna come home to america, your truck loks really good gives me some ideas for the future

on the same note i love how after i got mu lift/wheels/tires the compliments i get from people (all types too) harley riders, girls in beetles, all the jeep guys, i guess they dont realize the potential of these trucks from a allready badass stock look and ride
