Scary looking pickup.

Would you feel comfortable driving this?
Look at low tires, mud flaps, etc.
Mountain bike is worth more than the truck!

That has to be staged. Look at the sticker on the van in front of it.

Those arent mud flaps, those are floor mats mounted to be mud flaps

its just a flat bed truck. nothing special about it. Sure its beat up and cheaply thrown together but it serves its purpose.

Likley rusted out bed, or somone who needs to car large items which wouldnt fit inside the bed easily

crude but effective

I hope he's taking down that phone number! It kind of reminds me of the truck from the movie "Duel" - on a much smaller scale, of course!

Scary - but regular site along the "border" states. I'm guessing he doesn't have insurance either.

Stop making fun of my Mom's truck!



All it needs is a "So What?, it's paid for" bumpersticker.

The only change I made was blacking out the van's license plate! With Paint no less.
Regarding insurance: the scam is to get one buddy to register the plate, then 28 days, 23.5 hours later another buddy has the plate transfered to his name, then 28 days, .... because the license department computer dosen't talk to the insurance computer until after 30 days, one could have us subsidize their liability!
Like the spare tire? It's not a drag slick...
