I'm the other way around......the 56 NAPCO is HER daily driver, and I
usually only get to drive it when I am road testing it after a repair or
upgrade....she's a country girl, an Oregonaut by birth, and has had a truck
as her daily driver since 1986.....a car won't cut it. In fact, I have a
2wd 56 under destruction, and she doesn't REALLY want to drive THAT
one.....gotta be 4wd.
She says the reason they're called pick up trucks is 'cause guys always try
to pick her up when she drives it.......(great big ole red 4X4 '56 with a
blonde at the wheel).....hmmm, I don't get it. (grin)

Smokey,
I've had my truck for three years now and my wife refuses to drive it.
Never once has she started it up. But she does love to go out to the local
drive inn restaurant in my truck. Ya gotta love um! Oh and the wives too.
