What does your car mean to you?

• My truck means the world to me, it has become a part of me. I bought it brand new and didnt have plans to modify it into a show vehicle at all. I used to do all the work myself but eventually reached my limits, so since then I have had to pay others do welding and bodywork, otherwise I stick to being a do it yourself-er. I take a lot of pride in this truck, more then most people realize. But I do not put this truck above my friends, family, and loved ones…I’m not obsessive over the truck…I have my priorities in life straight, don’t worry. I just like my toys
