Yea, that's what I thought you all would say. <br><br>DB

 

i would be lost without my truck. i have always had one since i got my licence but i still have a couple of cars BIG cars a 70 caddy conv, 71 buick electra 225 and a 73 coupe deville. they are ALMOST as big as the truck ;D

 

Turned 16 in 1981 - guy up the street had a 73 2500 Cheby 2WD slam full of junk and broke. He told me if I cleaned it out and kept it running so I could help him haul stuff I could use it. Drove that thing into the ground, got rear-ended by a cement mixer in it, and then it eventually ended up in his brother's yard for his young-uns to finish off.<br><br>My Dad had my 74 Scout and a good trailer after that (I still have both) then my brother bought the 78 W200 (still have that in my yard, too). Without a truck I would be unable to properly perform the myriad odd-jobs I seem to keep busy doing.<br><br>Truckitis must be genetic - my Dad has a Nissan for light hauling, my little brother has my old 82 D350 SRW, my older brother has a 77 ex-military W200, I have the 78 W200, 53 IH R-112, several Scouts (Anything less is just a car), and the 96 CTD.<br><br>Need something hauled - just get one of them Smith boys - they can move anything, anywhere. ;D

 

My first vehicle was an 89 ford festiva. I'm 6 2' and it didn't work out. Got the 86 silverado after that and it ate me up on gas. Then came the 96 s-10 which fell to a friend in an 85 scottsdale. It seems s-10's don't take rear impacts well. The whole time I dreamed of a CTD. So i bought the 93 Cummins and drove the wheels off of it. Just a couple of months ago it started haveing structural problems (frame/suspension). So I let her go :'( But I bought the 97 and all was well. <br><br>Cummins 4 life. And hopefully afterwards, God willing.

 

i got my first truck when i was three <br>drove a hunder thousand miles on my kness............<br> <br>i could finish that song easy..<br><br>i dont think i could live without my truck <br>but im still going to buy me a 00 vette or porsche <br>if my bombing doesnt get to bad..... <br><br>

We all know once you get bit ny the cummins bug it owns you. you will start out with one truck then before you know it you will have a hlaf dozen all pushing 800+hp<br>DM01<br> <br>[/quote]

 

Trucks SUCK! <br>I hate this thing cause I spend too much money on it trying to do what DC and MA cummins should've done from the start! I swore in H.S. that I'd never be so stupid as to buy anything that resembled a pickup in any way. Like I said, silly me,found out I can't play go-fast with my cars on the street, so now it's not cool to go anywhere without driving a CUMMINS powered beast! Gotta be able to get TOYS wherever they need to be and make sure you're gonna get back to the house.
