I can get you this truck cheap! A gag shot at Nick's. This truck wil never run again -- nice hood ornaments though!
The Sable Station Wagon, a veteran of many miles and quite a few hunts, has gone to the great Auto Dealer in the sky -- traded in for a newer vehicle for the son who is now sporting a black Mazda Protege with about 38,000 miles on it. A good deal for him.
About two months ago I switched over to a new-to-me silver 2005 Ford Explorer which came with about 35,000 miles on it, and it seems capable of doing the job. In any case, I fear mud and ice a little less -- a low-to-the-ground front-drive vehicle on farms has always bee a dodgey thing, and I am glad to have a four-wheel-drive vehicle that should go for another 100,000 miles or more. The Explorer is not quite as gas-guzzling as the Expedition which my 105-pound wife insists on driving to pick up groceries.
With the kid's cars, we are now a four-car family -- a true nightmare for gas and insurance.
No, that's not me -- that's what the new vehicle looks like, though.
As a general rule, it's a very poor environmental practice to drive cars across or down stream beds. For some reason, however, when any car manufacturer wants to sell an SUV or a Quad Bike, they take a picture like this of the vehicle wrecking a pristine stream bed. No wonder fishing streams on the East Coast produce so little!
