Apr. 22nd, 2005 09:32 amLately, I've been watching a lot of Trucks! on Spike TV. I started just by watching the last 10 minutes or so, having the tv on before Seven Days came on at 10 am. But the host, Stacey David (male), is just so enthusiastic about everything he works on, and even more so about test driving the street trucks and 4x4 trucks. So while the horsepower and torque numbers don't mean anything to me, it's fun to watch, just to hear him enthuse and to see his smile threaten to split his face open when he's talking about something he likes or test driving something over and above what it's supposed to do.
Matt's got a 1978 Jeep pickup in some serious need of work back home. It was his first vehicle, and there was a problem with the oilpan that lead to the engine dying. He got a replacement engine, but never got around to replacing it before we moved (like, 8 years later). He was half-thinking about writing to Trucks and seeing if they wanted it for a project. That would be so cool, to see what they could do with/to it.
