It has "kinda" grown on me but, it took time. First time that I walked out ofwallyworld (I tend to park away from the peasants) I was in awe on how easy it was to find. Gay? yep! It is 4 1/2 yrs in the making but, I am coming out of the yellow closet

Pay him no mind. He's just jealous now he doesn't have the only "short bus" on the forum. lol

And I never lock it and always leave the keys in it! How far are they gonna go with that hideous rig?

The tags are pretty easy to remember too.!

Yeah, they're just afraid of it cuz they don't know the "k9" ain't still in it. hahaha

LOL...I was making fun of myself. I get crap from my buddy's...(short bus...that is a new one and funny) PENNDOT truck etc... I like the color.
f9k9 that is the truth...there is no problem picking that color out in the parking lot. The other question always comes...are you Pittsburgh Steelers fan? NO!

I really like the fact that I am no longer hunting out of a trunk of a 2000 monte carlo. I wonder if the new owner of the monte got the blood stains out of the trunk. I wrapped all the deer in a tarp...but they always leak. Oh well.

The worse one is when they say: Hey, you've got an unfinished short bus!!!

Being mine is Yellow, I get heckled all the time, mostly it is called a circus or clown wagon.

Gotta admit. After Reed stopped by here on his way out to MOAB his truck is pretty sharp even though it is yellow. Obviously well cared for too. Must hide it from the ducks as I didn't see any splatters from overhead on it. lol

He doesn't keep water fowl long enough to get near it.

I noticed you didn't bring yours anywhere near mine and drove that Toy (correct me if, I am wrong

) At least Mightym (Ron) met me in KC, MO on the return trip and drove his CC! He gave me a neat geocaching coin to hide (right up there with the breakfast you bought) ! Thanks again!

Wait a second, has anyone seen a post from Mightym since mid October?

Oh gawd, you don't think I left him any stragglers?

I didn't bring my CC as I only drive it when it's needed and the pavement between town and my place was dry with no need to go off pavement that day. It is for me a work truck and not much of a show truck like a lot of others on the site. You're right I drove the Nissan cause it's cheaper to bop around in. While it's not a Toy(ota) it is kind of a toy car as are a lot of rice-grinders.

Serves the purpose though. Kinda hard to compare mileage delivering mail between it and the CC. Usually plus 9-12 mpg, more in muddy conditions. I enjoyed the company and you're most welcome for the shared breakfast. Be sure to let me know if you happen to be passing this way again.

I may wash and clean up the CC and drive it just to satisfy your curiosity. Pretty much looks like Brule's truck minus the fancy hood and other goodies.

Geeez o pete, I was just joking

I knew why you drove the Datsun, er Nissan

. I really couldn't remember what it was and that is why I told you to correct me. Toy or Toyota is what came to mind. It's all good and you have almost 2 years to get ready before I come by with a flock of ducks flying west

Brule and I saw a yellow Chevy ZR5 in Moab. That was my first. We have what must be a couple hundred CCs around town with one other yellow ZR5 but, it is a GMC. All that remains of my ZR5 package is the decals and roof rack.

Not to worry. I wasn't upset or anything and I was just pokin at ya about washing up the CC to show it to you. It's dirty so much it might fall apart if I got serious about cleaning it up anyway.

Thanks for the warning about bringing the "flock" with you. Guess I might have to get out the ole 30" 12ga mag if not to knock em down maybe at least to scare em away or speed em on their way.

Not too worried though. It's too dry out here all the time for much waterfowl of any kind to want to stick around anyway.

Good choice on the front plate though.
