*sigh* I'm sure I'll be flamed....

...but I am so excited about this new Tonka Truck that I just had to post pictures.  Flame away Lepaul, et al.

Here she is, picked it up last Tuesday, and these pics were taken at Lake Tapps today (Drained reservoir in the winter months) after claybar, paint sealer and 2 coats of Klasse polymer wax. This will be the cleanest this truck will ever be.

Averaged 18 mpg first tank of gas, and that was with a full load with skiis, 3 kids and wife up to Crystal Mountain skiing.

It has a 2" lift kit and oversized Toyo tires on it.

You bought a car NEW?  Think of the depreciation!

Looks nice.

George LeBay once said, "She had the smell of a brand-new car. That's just about the finest smell in the world, 'cept maybe for *****."

Congrats on the new ride Rip!

His name was Roland D. Lebay in the book.  You threw me for a loop when you quoted it to George LeBay.  If you liked the movie you'd love the book.  King's stuff never translates well to the screen.

Actually, I read the book before the movie came out.  I just used IMDB to get the quote.  And I actually liked both the movie and the book.
