We aren't supposed to touch our pretty wives? I'm gonna have to ugly her up a bit. I guess the same can be said for a truck, the first scratch is the worst. That is why I just throw a bunch of crap in it right away, get it over with. Not that I wan't to throw a bunch of crap at the wife...Man this isn't working too well for me. I'll shut up now.

I worked with a guy that had a 62 Vette, Great car red on red with white top.One year he put 60 miles on it and was total pissed at himself for putting on so many miles.Then I asked him if he was saving it for his wifes next husband.That really set him off.We all want something different from this hoby,Me I want to drive and enjoy my work.To each his owen.

I don't haul much in mine anymore but i sure do like to take a nice sunday drive with the wife or go to a cruise. I sure aren't going to obsess about it to the point i won't drive it. If i get to that point i will sell it.

Wish I had the picture of the time I hauled two 7' palm trees I had got from Costco. Just to watch the peoples face when I was loading into my 56 was great. Cant take it with you, drive it all you can. They did bend a bit in the wind, lol
