[QUOTE=cilrah]...  But I can't believe you'd tow a GM Product with a Furd Wits%20End  ...[/QUOTE]
 
The previous light hauler was a '93 BowTie.  What paint didn't flake off rusted through.  I liked the truck well enough overall, it just looked like heck and Patty told me to get a different one.  Didn't like the looks of the next couple of GM gens so was looking at Blue Ovals and Rams.  "The SiverBuckboard" has been the nicest of the 3 trucks I've owned over the past 25 years.

Bailey luvs to go riding, especially in "The Toy" 'cause she can stick her nose out into the fresh air.  She won't get to go along in either "The Beast" (becuz of the leather seats) or "BIGBRRD" (becuz of the velour seats).
 
 
[QUOTE=ranger3]... I love the shot of the three toys in the stable. ...
[/QUOTE]
 
This is the first time all three have been together under the same roof.  "BIGBRRD" went over to the bodyshop in June of '06 and "The Beast" arrived in October of that year.  One of the three is going to have to go off-site though at the end of the driving season so Patty's daily driver can be inside over the winter.  Should have gone 30' wide instead of 26' when we added on the new garage three years ago...!!!  doh
 
 
[QUOTE=kstyer]Now that is a lot of horses in the stable! ... [/QUOTE]
 
I prefer my horsepower with ignition keys and parking brakes!  They also can out live the 'hay burners' (when taken of decently) and don't leave piles of 'stuff' along the side of the road (usually!).

Hopefully!  Patty doesn't like driving "The Toy" becuz it lacks PS and PB but she does enjoy riding in it.  We may end up arm-wrestling for wheel time in "BIGBRRD" since it is our "Anniversary" car (we were married in 1978).  And "The Beast" generally doesn't leave the garage without her permission.  That's ok - 'cuz when we do go out together for a cruise I'm usually behind the wheel of whichever vehicle we take.  Big%20smile

What I want to know is, when Bailey does go for a ride, how long does it take to clean all the hair out of the vehicle LOL
 
Frisco doesn't ride in anything but the Hoopdy (Hyundai), hes aleady ruined that car.  You don't roll more then one window down at a time or you end up picking hair outta your mouth.
