My boss' new ride

Ain't she a beauty. Lower it down a couple of ft and a few little touch-ups here and there
and voila a new truck.

There ought to be maximum bumper height restrictions for street use, and they should be strictly enforced.

Is your boss short, and didn't notice the roof damage?

Must have hit a low overpass with the roof ! Just about a useless vehicle other than for an urban cowboy, and attracting truck sluts.

Around here they have those ****ing billion watt grille lights- drive with them on, all the time. Everytime I see a truck with those in the grille, I want to smash them out.

Rednecks / Brodozers. UGH.

And requirement for tires to not stick out past the fender. Those tires will chuck a rock very high and far.

I don't know your boss, but now have a vitriolic opinion of him based on his taste in vehicles.

Some of you guys trashing someone owning a truck like that should take some time to look up Yellow's location and winter.

It's not in his profile or signature.

The photo still shows some snow on the ground though.

He buys and sells trucks. We use them in our business as well. He has an older version of this PU, he's just up grading. He's also a car guy, you may have seen some of his collection, I sometimes post here for your viewing pleasure. Mostly muscle cars.

I feel bad that I've upset some of you. It'll be OK when we finish
with this one, I'll repost when it's repaired.

We don't know, he's buys them damaged and repairs them. Maybe aliens, or something else from outer space or maybe a tree fell on it.
