Re: Who's older? You or your truck?
I started it... 4 1/2 years ago. That's the only reason I can remember it at my age.

I don't know why, but I always thought you were seven years younger than your truck. Must be all your youthful enthusiasm.TNIceWolf wrote:Just found this thread!......... I am sadly seven years older than my truck.

Re: Who's older? You or your truck?
I was born (or hatched?) 6/12/50 (No, NOT 1850) and Forrest Bump was "Born" in September 1969 (Model year 1970).
That makes my Bump Old and Me... well I think they found my birth certificate under one of the pyramids in Egypt.

Re: Who's older? You or your truck?
Me. March 1968 to August 1969.
My grandpa bought the truck to have a reliable vehicle to drive to come visit me 200 miles away. His first and only new car. I guess it's fitting that I own it now.
