Heads up for you, buddy. Not all women are pampered bitches. Just saying.

That would be fine if I parked it somewhere and left it there. They get, what? 6 mpg?

In all fairness, I think the grafting inspector was more concerned that my brother was riding around with little kids in that thing than anything else. Otherwise, he probably would have passed it yet again. The ironic part to me was that the brand new truck he bought to replace it eventually had its driver's side floor rust through as well, but he was dead by then. His girlfriend who got it told me about it not long ago as that was why she took it off the road. Not sure what it was with him and floorboards. May be because he fished all the time and had wet shoes often. Not sure.

Did he live on the coast? Got friends who are in the habit of running beaches and fishing the surf. They can’t keep bottoms in their trucks. I’ve done better over the years with mine. Floorboards staying in tact so far.

Didn't live on the coast but traveled there to fish several times a year. He also had a boat he was on as often as he could be, worked outside in the dirt all the time at his job, hunted in the winters a few days a week, etc. and never cleaned his vehicles inside or out.

We only buy American, made in America by well paid Americans. We already have top of the line, but I would maybe check where some of the Caddies and Lincolns are made.

See here, we are 85 and that dropped from 90 a few years ago.

Resolve, then, that on this very ground, with small flags waving and tiny blasts of tiny trumpets, we shall meet the enemy, and not only may he be ours, he may be us." Pogo

The correct term is "pampered princess". She is worth every penny.
