Happy Spring Everyone...

What a great time of year to start driving our classic trucks around without the threat of corrosive materials on the road. At least we're safe until about Nov/Dec. Enjoy the season!

 MAY THE 4TH BE WITH YOU...

(i love this original movie poster)

Cool poster!  The original Star Wars film was great fun with a spectacular opening sequence.  Unfortunately, the bar was set too high for succeeding films.  As is often the case, the impact on audiences by the initial movie was never matched, let alone surpassed.  Little new was introduced and the plots were somewhat mundane in subsequent releases.  One humble opinion among many.

HAPPY SPRING!

Yeah, VZ is a true Star Wars nerd. He is an expert on the good, bad and real ugly when it comes to prequels, sequels and such. Often good movies are trashed when they add and change things.

Back out in the Woods smelling all the smells and happily loving every minute of it!

The time of the year does not matter to me. I drive my truck 2-3 times a week unless of course it is icy.

OG Star Wars FTW Harmy's Despecialized versions are a great way to watch the unclucked versions. I remember going to see the re-releases and being like, why? Then the prequels and feeling like my life's blood had been drained. Now the Disney era...

It's like our trucks, they got it right for a certain period of time and can never do better.

Here comes the pollen, I've been driving mighty whitey (my patina truck) because the weather here has been crap.

Since I sold my truck, I've been driving around in my imagination, so every trip is absolutely perfect.  And, there's no maintenance or repairs!  What more could you ask for?   

[VileZambonie]

The real deal! 

That's why I love whitey. It's mechanically mint, cosmetically not but I'll drive it anywhere and not worry about it. When I drive my 74 I'm constantly worried about some other idiot or it getting biffed. I just enjoy it.

Whitey looks like a sleeper 

What year, 79, or 80?

[VileZambonie]

79

[JohnnyPopper]

Was there a difference in the hood between those years? I have an 80 with front detail that is not on your beast. Embossed detail is the best way to describe. I'm sure bd has a more precise term
