#10 They have a range of about 20 miles before they overheat, break down and run out of gas.
#9 Only the owner knows how to operate the door to get in or out.
#8 It is difficult to drive fast with all the fence tools, grease rags, ropes, chains, syringes, buckets, boots and loose papers in the cab.
#7 It takes to long to start and the smoke coming up through the rusted-out floorbaord clouds your vision.
#6 The Border Collie on the toolbox looks mean.
#5 They're too easy to spot. The description might go something like this: The driver's side door is red, the passenger side door is green, the right front fender is yellow, etc.
#4 The large round bale in the back makes it hard to see if your being chased. You could use the mirrors if they weren't cracked and covered with duct tape.
#3 Top speed is only about 45 mph.
#2 Who wants a truck that needs a years worth of maintenance, u-joints, $3,000 in body work, tail lights and a windshield.
#1 Its hard to commit a crime with everyone waving at you!!!!!

Made me giggle. Thanks. You don't know how many of those trucks I see around this town. I call them all relatives of Mator from Cars.

we live in the pickup capital of the world - right ahead of SUVs and 4 wheelers

I can add another to the list:
The truck is so covered in red dirt you can't tell what color it is...

I'm sending this to my Dad. He doesn't have a farm truck, but he has a "jack of all trades" truck. :)

I had a car that resembled this LOL
It belonged to a body mechanic, and it was 5 different colors :roll: but it did run well... No mistaking that it was ME driving down the road :lol::lol::lol:
My friend's dad had a farm truck just like that... he was determined to drive it til it died!!! He wanted to get his "moneys worth" out of it :wink: We hated it when he volunteered to drive us anywhere... the fumes made your eyes water!!!!

:lol: :lol: :lol: We have one of these :roll:
Sometimes I have to drive it, and follow DH down the road on the tractor, so embarrassing :lol: :lol: The only thing we have that is older than the truck is the tractor :shock:
