Wasn't too long ago that LittleNortherner loved his Daddy's old truck. He liked to sit in the driver's seat and pretend to steer with that big old wheel. He jumped at any chance to go for a ride in the rusty old rumbly truck. It was cool, and he wanted to be seen in it.
That was back in the summer.
Now, in the middle of February - with temperatures consistently in the negatives, LittleNortherner doesn't want to go anywhere near that old truck. "Do we have to go in the truck? The heater doesn't work. There's no radio. The little triangle window makes a whistling noise."
Now, NorthernDaddy doesn't particularly like that whistling noise, either, but he deals with all the other stuff. Interestingly, as he was browsing old Jeep pictures on the internet, he came across this photo:
That's about what the truck looked like when it rolled off the assembly line - "Avocado Mist" paint (with no dents), all of the trim in place, and pretty clean looking.
Compare to present-day: total hack paint job, stuff falling off all over, and generally ragged-looking.
No wonder that LittleNortherner wants to ride in Mommy's car...
