You’re lucky it was in the bed. Got my first dent courtesy of a jerk in a parking lot after having the new truck for just a month — a visible crease on the exterior of the bed above the wheel well. Life trucks on!

Ha! The 17th century meets the 21st! Of course, if you're going to get into cryptocurrencies, best have at least a 64-bit computer...

Back two or three centuries ago when people cut coins into 8 pieces (to make smaller change) the original term "bit" referred to one of those pieces. A Spanish dollar was called a piece of eight (all 8 bits), so “two bits” meant a quarter of a dollar. So your coin was worth 2 bits, not a bit...

Duct tape over the lights while at the drive-in? :crazy:

The Owner’s Manual that came with my Mav (hybrid), delivered last month, says (pg. 173) vehicle runs on min. octane of 87. Then on the next page it says for best overall performance premium fuel with acetone of 91 or higher is recommended. (My guess is that 91 won’t provide much benefit except...

Ha! The original post made me wonder, because “sheeda” (or shida) is a Swahili word for trouble or problem. Which might be appropriate in this case.

Clever! Just hope someone in a jacked up truck doesn't rear-end you, sending the rod through your windshield. :blush:

I drove an early '70s VW Thing all over a Caribbean island for several months back in, well, the early '70s. The rusted out patches added to its, uh, character. Funny how ugly designs can accrue a certain charm over the decades. That said, I'm happy I'm getting the 2024 Mav.

Why not, indeed? I'd say keep it, so long as it doesn't affect the color of the music you can pull in. For example, if you like blues.... ;)

That's my concern as well.

One advantage of a stand-alone GPS receiver (Garmin or other) is that it should work pretty much anywhere and doesn’t require access to a cellular phone network (so no data costs and no dead zones as can still be found in some areas).

How about “None of the above”? There are lots of other possibilities.

Ah, now that's an elegant solution!

Best use for the flairs might be to hide rock-chipped paint, installed just before selling/trading the truck. :angel:

The ultimate parts vehicle, eh?!

A trip down memory lane, indeed! My first truck was also the first vehicle with 4 wheels that I owned (just motorcycles before that) -- a 1970 Datsun. Drove it for 15 years. No need for 4WD -- just a pair of snow tires and a shovel. If the snow got too deep I'd just shovel enough snow into the...

Hey! What's age got to do with it? I'm 76 and ordered a Hot Pepper Red XLT. Of course, I was a youthful 75 when I place the order.

Ah hah! A creative use for those awful warped boards — I like it!

I have little experience with tonneau covers, but I wonder if the emphasis on air infiltration that I see in many of the posts might be overblown (yes, bad pun). But seriously, even if the truck bed/box and cover were perfectly sealed, there would still be a tendency to billow because the air...

Coming right up -- just as soon as my Mav arrives, with the free B&O audio upgrade that the fine print (very fine print) promised for making an initial post. :like:
