There he is, big, white battle scared but ready for action - sitting in the back parking lot right where I can see him. Maybe it's a 9-11 thing, but I always carry my truck keys in my pocket in case I have to bail quickly. MB is running fine for the moment, awaiting work on the front end. My students' loyalty is divided between Ford, Dodge and Chevy. The Chevy kids know I drive a Ford and taunt me with things like, how's your ball joints, or your front end - common F150 issues. I hate the gas mileage but I like being in a big 4 wheel drive truck in the kind of weather I have to drive in. Someday I'll trade it for a cute little Jetta, when I don't have to pull hay wagons or livestock trailers.
