I thought I would dedicate a post to Brad's infamous '88 Toyota pick-up truck. This was the vehicle Brad picked me up in for our first date and was Brad's very first vehicle that he owned himself. He claims the truck has "sentimental" value, and is not willing to part with it.... Although
sometimes Brad's admiration for the truck gets me a bit jealous, I must admit that there is something about the ol' Toyota that just pulls at your heart strings :) Brad has became quite interested in off-roading, and we have found that the pick-up truck is great for allowing us to do it. Well....maybe "great" was a bit of an exaggeration, Brad insists there is much that still needs to be done to it to make it an "ultimate off roading machine". None-the-less, even with the 236,000 miles on it and the fact that you can remove the key from the ignition once the truck is started, it does its part in getting us on the dirt roads and away from "everyday life". Its been a good adventure for us and is something we both really enjoy. Since there is still work that needs to be done on the truck, Brad is hoping to be able to build it up with all the fancy gear (that's the best words I have to describe the parts it needs) so we can take a bit more "adventurous" trips. But for now we enjoy the occasional Saturday trips shortly away from the city and into the mountains and dirt roads.
