Minitrucks are absolutely the most fun a person can have without getting wet. They are more endearing than a wrinkles puppy ( " awww aint that cute" ) and yet more useful than an atv or a snowmachine could ever hope to be. They use less fuel than most motorcycles and have a heater. They are so practical - the sides of the box fold down - Who has been able to reach into a half-ton box since they started jacking all the domestic iron up a few years ago?!! And FOUR WHEEL DRIVE with low range! They can be jacked up with ATV tires or run on street tires. They are light enough that if you do get it stuck, any old milk cow can pull it out. They can be an exciting new way to get uptown for groceries, back to the east pasture for a new calf or to the highschool prom with a date. And when you get there, turning around or parking won't be a problem - well okay - maybe in the case of the date. They will pull with a hitch and carry a thousand pounds without a hitch. I'm really waxing eloquent here. Prices are well under ten grand Canadian - even if you tricked it out with custom wheels and tires, a lift kit and a camo job, fog lights and window tinting and maybe even the taxes. They do come with a radio - they talk in Japanese though - so you gotta replace that. I don't understand why, but driving one of these little trucks is a whole new experience - guaranteed to keep a full-time silly grin on your face - Maybe it is the practical usefulness or fuel mileage . Maybe I don't need a big vehicle with big tires, a big payment and a big appetite. Bin there - done that. Gotta go - So long for now - and don't forget "Its ALRIGHT to be little bitty" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
