Here's the one the baby girl (and her husband) have. Don't get me started about non-original paint.

A. It wasn't "a classic". B. It's, technically, still in the family. This is the classic my brother let someone else (at least a family friend) have; technically half-mine, with zero compensation to me of course. Siblings. (Some of those scratches down the side I put there, while cruising the lease with my closest friend.) Hey, but thanks for bringing up a really sore, bitter subject! I have a soft spot for camo Early Broncos. I’ve restored 2 of them. Creek, that one is in much better shape than both of them. Is it available? Thank you sir, but no. That aggie (see the two Fords in the garage) ain't gonna release it. He was kind enough to show it to me at his ranch. It was emotional. (Half-way kidding, half-way not.) It was Dad's. After Dad bought it from a neighbor, when I was a kid, for hunting, he bought a pristine '67 hardtop with 40K original miles. 'Talk about making you cry! 'Brother got that one too, but, in all fairness, Mom gave me Dad's '68 'Stang (289) at the same time. It would look good painted maroon.

there are many like it, but this one is mine. Could have bought any truck I wanted, but this is what I got. It isn’t perfect. The electronics are pretty glitchy and the pano sun roof has had a couple of problems. But Judd gave me some lube for it and it works great. Thanks Juddy!

I have only owned Fords throughout my life. For the first time I would consider a Toyota Tacoma as it would fit in the garage much better than a ginormous f-150.
I had a 1988 F150 302 FI 4x4 shortbed single cab 3" body lift 5-speed manual with a single 18 gallon fuel tank.. no lie I could not get more than 180 miles to the tank. Ran out of fuel more than once out of just exasperation. Of course that was around 1991-3 when I lived in Atlanta when fuel was 59 cents a gallon if you boys remember those days

23 Jeep Wrangler 392. Not a p/u but still a truck. Won't tow any more than it's own shadow. Great offroad and an absolute load of laughs on the street.

Toyota is the ugliest and has the ugliest colors. The rest is up to debate.

They all look ugly to me. But I did see a new Chevy, in black, that a buddy had bought, and it looked pretty good. As for me, I’m a Tundra guy, but the new ones are not attractive. Maybe I can eventually get past that.

I got an aftermarket one and fixed it. The best offroad vehicle is one you don't care about the body.

It would start without depressing the clutch and you could put it in 4lo and step out and walk beside it as it climbed a hill. Never used 1st fear in town.

That is unless you have more then your alternator can handle like I did once before LEDs came out.
