Trucks

Ever since I was a little girl, I've wanted a monster truck. Ha ha guys...laugh it up. I know what your thinking,"She wouldn't even be able to get up into that truck!" Oh, but, let me assure you...you'd be surprised at how I'd handle myself. All the years of dirt-bike riding and 4x4-ing have taught me a just a little bit. It's the power and the safety about big trucks that feel so great. Sometimes, in rush-hour traffic, when I'm driving in my little Nissan pickup, I fantasize about driving over everyone to get to my exit. Maybe that's why I have so many traffic tickets, ha ha. If only...sigh...someday I'll have my dream.
In the meantime, I'll take a nice new Toyota with all the fixin's.Sleek, reliable, still a truck, and if I'm good, I just might be able to drive over a few things and get dirty now and then. Is that too much to ask?
