Hey! You've got a truck.....

[srozell]

I'm interested in hearing how you all typically respond to the question that usually follows, "Hey, you've got a truck!"

[Captkaos]

Not sure what you mean.

[Irish_Alley]

"no i wont help you move" lol

[fitz]

Is it a female asking?

[DuckAholic1]

NO!!!!!!

[audrima]

no I will not help you move (unless your paying and doing the lifting)
no I will not tow your boat/rv/car/child to the junk yard (unless your paying and doing the lifting)
no I will not do a burn out
no I will not drive through that mud hole
yes I do love my truck
no it's not a rust bucket, is has less rust than you.

and

No it gets 10.

one person asked me why do i like driving my trucks and why not get a new one. i just point to the parking lot and ask how many truck out there look like yours? now how many look like mine?

[Stewart G Griffin]

i get that a lot these days.  And i just tell them i have to put a new engine in........which is actually the truth.

Yeah, I like that one. I think I can safely say "Nope, I'm doing some work on it" for a few years anyway.

I say "Yes. I have a TRUCK. A real truck.  A truck built with blood and sweet and tears, a truck built with steel, back in the days when steel ruled and plastic was only for trim, not engine parts and to hold it together. Because my truck was built back when tough, long lasting, dependable and quality were all used in the same sentence to describe one truck, made by a company that had employees who were PROUD to built America's truck, not an endless line of robots and computers. Because there are still more of these on the road than any other truck. Because my truck is a Chevrolet."

Sorry, my patriotism may have kicked in there just a little bit.

"But it looks a little ragged".....the proper term would be well-used...

My dad said, "Not too bad...for Fred Sanford."  I said "There's a lot of people that pay a lot more than a grand for this much Patina!!"

More than once I have had someone say "I don't want to inconvenience you, but could I borrow your truck?"  I know they are trying to be polite and say they aren't asking for my physical help or my time, just for the use of my truck.  What they don't understand is that it IS an inconvenience to be without my truck.  It's my daily driver, my transportation, my independence, and by the way, an old friend.  Do you want to borrow my lawn mower?  No problem.  Bring it back when you're done.  Want my wheelbarrow?  I won't miss is for weeks.  But my truck?  I don't think so.  If I have the time to help you I will, and yes I will bring my truck.  But if I can't do it, I'll be honest and say so . . . and you're not getting my truck.

Well, I always get "when are you going to get that truck out of your yard?" To which I reply, "when I give up hope."

Or the converse, "hey sell me that truck in your yard." To which I respond, "heck no."

Or "why don't you paint that thing?" To which I say, "when it stops being a work truck."
