awww, dude...didn't mean any disrespect. it was a homage to toys and the love of them, certainly not to dis the mopar in you. dad was a ford man (too bad for him) and we didn't get along that well for many a year. now, grandpa was a different story....he was a dodge man who was a mechanic for the oldest cab company in denver. he had two dodges...one was a dark green 1953 dodge with a huge visor on the front. that's all i remember about it, except that grandma would pick me up from school on friday afternoons in it when i went for a weekend visit. the other was a flareside truck, which he painted out of pride in his work TAXICAB YELLOW. then he put a camper on it and gave it taxicab yellow stripes

my favorite place to be when i was growing up was in his garage. i would be his "nurse" and hand him tools as he worked. i miss him. i was way too young to drive when he passed away, and grandma needed the money, or i would have begged for that dodge truck. it was sweet! who knows, maybe then i would have never owned so many fords in my very wayward youth!

anyway, sorry for putting ford talk in your thread. i'll be more careful about that in the future
