New paint all over the place. 72,000 or so on the odometer. It&#8217;s a little banged up here &amp; there, especially in the box and the tailgate, but the fresh paint makes a lot of that very tolerable. Let&#8217;s see&#8230; I could quit my job and start a snow plowing service&#8230; Or I could keep my job and do snow plowing in my spare time (yeah, right!) Or I could just buy it to replace the Suzuki (that&#8217;d make the morning commute interesting!)<\/p>\n<p>Sigh. For now it just sits there at the corner of 9th &amp; Kiwanis Ave., where I drive by it twice or more a day, just making me want it. It&#8217;s for sale and everything&#8230; Yet so unreachable. It just looks like some big red Tonka toy, and I want to take it out &amp; play with it. <\/p>\n<p>Gotta get (and keep) my covet under control. This big red Tonka truck makes it tough though.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I want this truck soooo bad. I don&#8217;t need it.
