AN OLD FORD TRUCK
Here is my truck- a Ford F100. 1962... I've been wondering lately, just why I enjoy driving it so much. Just what is so great about driving an old truck around? Some people "get it", and think it is so cool... others think it makes about as much sense as heating your house with charcoal. An old vehicle is kind of like a theme park ride. That's the answer. Every time I get into that old truck, it's like I'm at Walt Disney World, on the Amazing 1962 Truck Ride . Really. I climb up (you have to hoist yourself into these old trucks!), slam the (all steel) door shut, pull the choke (you have to know exactly how much, according to current weather conditions), and then... turn the key. It's never a given that it will start... it'll turn over, but: Did I choke it right? Did I push the choke in, just after it caught?? Is it my lucky day, punk? You get the picture: it's not just a drive to work- it's an adventure! And the ride to work, in this cas...
