So back in 2014 My Dad Bob passed away and I inherited his truck. Which used To belong to my Bosses Dad Bob. No my name is not Bob. Well my dad loved this truck and I always gave him a hard time bout the poor fuel economy(compared to festivas). Well after he passed I put a clutch in her and started driving her and found out it got better milage and was more comfortable the the durango I was driving(don't ask sore subject). So sold the durango and kept the truck. So in 2016 I decided if I was going keep her she was going need some love. at 349,000 miles all her major components were original. So made a plan to tear her down and in a few months rebuild her. What was that saying bout the best laid plans. Well it took a little longer then a few months. Actually put her back on the road last April.

So the name of the Truck reflects not only her personality but also those of her 3 owners. Luckily I knew them all and even have the service history from 92,000 miles when the shop I work at took on all the care for her. And its not a bad name I mean could u imagine Someone doing something crazy like putting This on their truck.

And I have no Idea how he got such things for his truck.[emoji1787][emoji1787][emoji1787]
So this Truck only has this life because of my Dad so it only seemed fitting to make it a memorial to him.

And of course had to add in my heritage while I wad at it. One thing bout my dad is he always wanted to be in the drivers seat. Well he never has to ride shotgun again now. I am a Texan born and bred just with a hint of Japanese tossed in there. I am also a proud military brat and a partially disabled vet. I will stand for either of these flags no mater what even if I disagree with the politics of the time or not these flags have allowed me to be who I am and enjoy things like owning my truck. I never want a hand out but will take a hand up and offer a hand up if I can. This is who I am. I am Cantankerous amd this is my truck.
