Here here! Someday I want to own and old Checker cab - just for the flip-down
added seats in the back and the monster trunk!
Once, while leaving work I chanced to speak with a co-worker who excitedly
showed me her new Toyota MR2. I told her that was a great car! Then I told
her to be careful because I to dig cars bigger than than out of the tread of my
Ford F-250 tires every couple of weeks. Her reply, said with a smile, is
unprintable in this venue :-)
By the way the 1995 extended cab F-250 went to the far side of Missouri and back
just like "Big Red" and except for the really nasty gas mileage (12 city, 12.5
highway) it is an excellent long distance cruiser!
