    Just kidding! LOL! Now that the Merc is back on the road,i've got to drive it to work for a while,since my daily '82 Ford,pick-up is a POS!!! My company doesn't want me to drive it for work,cause it's an insurance thing. But I have no choice. At least until I get a newer pick-up for work. Wonder how many sheets of drywall I can get in my Merc,LOL!!!!

    Man for a guy with two of the coolest customs around you sure might have the ****tiest daily driver ever!

    Once I finish my 51 Merc, my dented 87 Suburban might have to challenge your Ford to a duel!

    I saw this truck on the way home from work one day and was gonna stop and look at it but decided not to. Then I go to my Village Idiots meet and Diamond Daves dad comes driving in with it!!! WTF! So I bugged him for about a week and he sold it to me. Unfortunately it won't p*** smog! So I can't register it. Can't sell it. Can't give it to a salvage yard(cause i'm not the registered owner),so i'm screwed. I've been driving it for about 6 months or so,but now the brakes are goin out. It's a $800 truck,at best,so I DON'T want to spend a bunch of money on it. I gave my '95 Chevy pick-up to my older(don't know what I want)son,so now I have to get another one. I'm looking for another '95 Chevy shortbed,1/2 ton. But,in the mean time...it's drive the Merc...

  8. If I drove your "Custom" to work I would never get there:D Just kidding, fix that damn Merc.
    I know a smog guy who might be able to smog the OT truck.

    if i had a boss tell me i couldnt drive my hot rod to work id tell him where he could go, and find another job!!!!!! as an employer my guys can drive what ever they want to work so long as they get to work!!! sounds like your boss doesnt want to come off the money for decent insurance.

    Well,it's not that simple. #1 it's a $90k a year job,#2 My company covers me while I drive at work,FOR ANYTHING!,#3 They pay my gas! And you know how much is right now. #4 My brother-in-law owns the company.
    The guys who run jobs have to keep records of their maintenance on their work vehicles,and they will not cover me driving my Merc. That's okay,i'm not complaining. I really don't feel like loading a bunch of screwguns,cords,water hoses,and screws in my car anyways,LOL!!!

    LOL! That's funny cause I meant it as a joke. That's cool if you drive yours too! I'll be driving mine for a while,til I get a truck. It's been about 4 months since I drove it too work. It's funny watching everybody going crazy,trying to get your attention.

    I remember last year when you got that award. That's cool. I can't believe how much money was lost when they went out on strike. Hope it's over soon.
