Night Runner, I wasn't talking about you when I said city kids, sorry if it sounded like that. My town has a lot of rich kids that grew up in town that have had everything handed to them and have never worked for anything in their lives. They didn't like my truck because it didn't look very nice and it wasn't quick. I took care of it when I got it, but it rusted from inside, so the first clue was it started getting soft and once you could see any rust it was pretty much through. A lot of those kids were so clueless. It would snow and they would be talking about how bad the roads were, I'd just laugh because I started 25 miles from school and none of the roads were plowed by my house and I rarely if ever had to use the 4X4 even with bald tires and their 4X4 new fancy jeep couldn't make it up a plowed hill in town. If you watched them it was pretty funny. They would turn onto the road on a pretty decent hill and try to accelerate through the corner so they already had the tires spinning when they got reletively straight on the hill, now they would floor it, because spinning the wheels faster on snow helps so much. It just cracked me up because I would leave mine in 2wd and drive right up, just be light on the throttle. One day I watched this guy for 5 minutes with his brand new truck try to make it up this hill, we had got freezing rain the night before and then 5 inches of snow so it was actually slippery this day. You could hear his pipes just ringing, he must have had the wheels going 60 and just flung all the snow off of the ice. He just kept flooring it in the same spot. He would back up and start moving a little and then floor it and make his bare ice marks longer. Anyway he finally gave up and when I had turned on the road I had felt it and my truck would hold in 2wd so when he backed down by me I asked him if he wanted me to pull him up. He just looked with this look of disgust at my truck and said will that thing even make it up. I just laughed and told him it would. He said we could try it. I think I got him up to 30 or 40 going up the hill. I had to start accelerating whenever he would try to help to much because he would start going sideways. The hill is about a mile long and when we got to the top he didn't have much to say. I wouldn't take any money or anything, the look on his face at the top was all the repayment I needed.

Sorry for the long post.
