    Green body with the white top. That's what I'd be cruising in if not for my cursed progeny. And I'd definitely spring for the better stereo. Mmmmm ... I even test-drove one, just to torture myself ....

    well i was actually laughing at the fact that you call it a truck but anywho.

    while were on dream cars, mine is a 77 TE cortina 4.1L straight 6, drove my cousin's a few years back and i've wanted one ever since, that is a machine it would be a crime to get as an auto. My cousin has 600 hectares with a makeshift racing track and i almost killed myself many a time in that thing, good times, good times.

    So am I not the only who has went to the site and eaten my heart out "building" my own dream Mini? :P
    I have not test drove one yet, if I did I would probably go do something really dumb and get even deeper into debt. :P

    @miotas: The truck I was referring to was a real truck. I have two. One is a gas Ford, and the other is a 87 or 88 (It is a crime that I forget) Sierra 4X4 diesel. It is the first time there was diesel and 4X4 that I know of, so I think it is kind of a classic. It is big, it is mean, and it is tough. :P They do not make trucks like that anymore. That thing can go anywhere and do just about anything. I do not cut down trees like a smart person would, I dig around the roots about a foot under the ground, chop and saw as many off as possible, then either use a come-along or a truck to pull them down. Thus eliminating the need for a nasty stump disposal job, because you use the leverage of the tree to remove the stump. It is a bit slower, but it works and my sexy lawn looks better for it. I was pulling down a massive boxelder with my Sierra, and I mis judged the length, and the top 4 feet of it came crashing down onto the back and cab of the truck. I expected that to crush the cab and shatter the windshield, but instead, it made a tiny dent, and that is all. The thing is perfect for plowing snow too, not even the worst Wisconsin snow stands a chance. :P I really love that truck, but unfortunately everything on it is finally starting to go, so I am not sure how much longer I will have it.
    GMC still makes an ok truck, but it is nothing to Ford. Chevy trucks with few exceptions are jokes, and are mediocre at best. Toyota trucks aren't. Dodge makes a mean truck, there is no denying that, but Ford still makes the best out there.

    People from Wisconsin driving trucks? LOL LOL LOL

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    lol Strike, we like our trucks. WI has a lot of farms, and a large paper and logging industry (at least we used to :P), so there is plenty of need for trucks. My family saves a lot of money by heating with a wood stove, so I have been going into the woods with my father since I was a little kid helping with aquiring firewood. Things have changed a lot, but it is still cheaper to heat with a woodstove, so my brothers still harvest wood with it to this day, and when I am over, I help them. :P (cause nothing is as kewl as sawing down trees and spending all day cutting off brush and hauling it to a pile, then loading logs into the back of a truck, dragging it home, sawing them up more, and splitting them) Cannot do that without a truck unless you like to take lots of long hard walks and get close to nothing done all day. :P We also used to to transport 100s of tons of massive stones from what used to be an old barn. We have went through a few trucks, and these ones have seen their share of work. :P You think the Texans are the only ones who know how to work?

    sorry, i just think it's funny when americans call a ute a truck

    yeah i know what you mean about old vehicles that just dont quit, my family is full of labourers and car lovers. My pop has a datsun from the sixties which is basically just pieces of rust riveted together, the only reason it passes rego is cause he "knows" someone. the thing almost never breaks down and it goes like the clappers though.

    And my nanna(different side of the family) has an old fergie that does absolutely everything, and has been doing so for over 30 years, it can climb a hill like a bloody sheep and hasn't once flipped, and its a godsend if you get bogged. all of my cousins first learnt to drive in it aswell, i knew how to drive it before i was old enough to go to school, i just wasn't tall enough

    bloody hell i sound like an old timer don't i? better shuffle off before start talking about the good old days.
