Matt's junker

Yep, no family can be complete without matching his and hers junkers (see the post below for more explaination).

Actually, Matt's Nissan pickup is a very useful junker. It runs, gets decent gas mileage, and hasn't broken down yet (knock on wood). And, the best part is that we can go 4 x ing, without having to worry if it gets scratched or dented up in the hills!

The pickup as a very unique color, not to be found by many people around these parts. It's a lovely shade of red-orange. Waxing won't cut it for this paint job! But, why have it repainted when it might get scratched up in the hills anyway?

The Nissan pickup was obviously designed for someone under 5' tall, and under 100 pounds! The bench seat is the most uncomfortable I've ever sat in. This is worsened when out shopping, and having to put the bags in the front when it rains. When arriving home, after removing a dozen bags from the floor board, I can once again find my feet! After painfully climbing out, I realize that my legs are stuck in the position they were in, when the bags were surrounding me. The best way to handle this situation is to roll out of the truck and hope to land on my butt, where there's some extra padding!

Didn't take us long to realize we needed a slightly larger pickup!
