Cool What is it about these trucks?

I can't figure it out!

I've had this truck for 15 days and have already washed it 3 times. Not just a regular wash, either. I wash it once, then bug & tar remove it and other small details, then empty the water & start again.

I'm constantly daydreaming about what I can do to make the truck better. Scheming and plotting about the next upgrade.

Surely I'm not the only one who does this?

I think I'm finally beginning to understand what you guys & gals have been going through all these months...

Welcome to the club! I have to wash it at least once a week, even if I don't take it out for that whole week! Even a light film of dust is way too much for me to stand. I am worried what will happen when summer rolls around and I am driving it every day. I will most likely be washing it 2-3 times a week.

I know exactly what your talking about, I have dreams about it all the time. Its like I don't car about anything else but that truck. It just blows my mind away every time I look at it, and I've had mine for two years now. Your in for a big suprise once you start modding it. then it just gets harder and harder to let go.

It's pitiful. I don't know what it is either that makes my truck so appealing. I'm at work and you see what I'm doing this moment - and I just got off the phone with Jim at JDM Engineering - 15 minutes there.

Yes, I still do my job and do it very well. But still....Hi, my name is Jim, and I'm a....What are we anyway?

My gf feels that my truck is one of the few great threats to our relationship. I told her as long as she accepts its presence in my life, we're good.

My wife says that she hates the L since I'm always talking about and planning what to do to it next. She thinks I care for the truck more than her....

a wife is the one who opens the visa bill, and asks "what the hell is Jegs?", and you quickly tell her it's a **** thing, so she won't know your buying racing stuff again.

Unless she is PMS'n service her account before going to the garage. Otherwise you will not be able to enjoy the garage. If she's PMS'n it doesn't really matter 'cause your going to catch ***** anyway.

In Colorado you have to wash it almost everyday just to keep the Mag-Chloride off of it. I hate that crap!
