I love how its paid off
I love that people at work have a spot on the end for me picked out on the end cause they got tired of having black spots on their cars
I love that my floor is an old stop sign i bolted down and sealed with roofing tar
The only problems ive had are from the last guy doing all the wiring himself
I love how i have to back into parking spaces cause of the lack of a turning radius
I love how we've used it as a search and resuce and a firetruck for my fd
I love when people ask if i have a programmer and i say a wrench and my right foot
I love the half crank start
I just love my truck

1. After a new tranny, rear end, flatbed, bearings and stuff all over, it has only cost me about 4000, and that's including buying the truck!
2. The way people don't like to be next to me on the freeway....they all seem scared in their subcompacts.
3. How it bucks out like a bronc when you hit the railroad tracks.
4. It always starts, always.
5. How easy it is to bomb (thanks 1st gen sticky).
6. How often I get offers to buy it, and there are a LOT of first gens around here.
7. The tata dance (and how hot the GF looks driving it).
8. The wagging tongues that I get from the 2nd and 3rd gen'rs on the highway, the best is when they chase you down to check your truck out.
9. It's mine!

1st gens start so nice.. barely bump the key and they fire up..any weather...!! I love how responsive the VE pump is...I know i cannot stand the feel of electronic injection pumps..soooo robotic feeling if ya get my drift! Body style just looks tough of course also!!

trucks should be rectangular, not round, unless it's a pre-60's vintage. I was a few years late getting my financial chit together, and got a '98, but, my son's got a '90 Ramcharger that we're resurrecting as a 3/4T clattering SUV. ('92 6BT/gonna have '96 radiator/intercooler and A/C condenser)

Everything mentioned above. Especially the quad turboed supercharged windows and the way it shakes when you shut her down. And the fact that i get more chicks in my 1st gen than in my bright red convertable.
