People like that think every car and truck built before 87 should be crushed.I don't get much of that here in Arkansas everone has an old farm truck or older pickup they drive. It must depend on what part of the country u live in

I've only ever had one person squawk at me face to face about driving an old truck that gets bad mileage. She was driving a puke green Prius w/ Illinois plates. When she got back in her car and sputtered off, she drove out in front of a late 70s ford sporting a plow frame in lieu of a front bumper. Like, RIGHT in front of him. Old plow truck 1, prius 0. She was screaming at the officer that showed up about how it was his fault for driving a vehicle without ABS, and how it had to be illegal to leave the plow frame on a truck without the plow attached....She got a ticket, the guy in the furd tilted his plow lights back up to where they should be, sprayed some black spray paint over the green prius paint, and went on his way. Justice was served  ;D

these trucks are still very common in my area so I never get a second look. Well I was getting gas once in my 84 gmc and a guy walks up to me and said that truck must have a lot of character. When he got back in his car I noticed he had florida plates.

Now when I'm in my 79 malibu I always have people coming up to me wanting to buy it or talk about it.

We used to do key bangs to set them off!
Some people are like Slinkies. Not really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs

its when your driving down the road and you shut the key off for a couple seconds while driving and turn it back on it lets out a prety loud back fire and some times flames i did it all the time with my stepside before i took it apart to rebuild the truck, i did once when a buddy of mine was driving behind me, and he knew my truck did that, but another buddy of ours was with him and he didnt, i shut my truck off turned back on while we were in a small tunnel looked in the rear view mirrior and only saw one person cuz my buddy in his pass seat hit the floor he thought he was getting shot at, and my buddy driving almost wrecked his truck he was laughing so hard :D :D, just thought id share that story 8)
