I think the handles are mainly for “decoration” … we never actually used them for anything useful

I like the look of that truck, but what is the purpose of the “handles” on the outside, just curious if you know.

Yer there the 3.0 v6 L200′s plus some extra movie kit ect, not sure about over in the states but in the UK you can’t buy a new 3.0 v6 l200 only the 2.5 TD unless it’s a grey import.

You know, I wasn’t really paying attention when I watched the movie. But now that you mention it … cool coincidence

Hi Lin,

Vrrroommm … grandma in a red Vette !!!

I think if was to ever get another sports car (have had 2 Mustangs in the past) I would want a corvette. lol, then again, being a guy, people would probably just think I was having a mid-life crisis.

Even a truck is probably not going to be terribly practical, with the size of our family. We’ve got the new van, that everybody should be able to fit in. Then, to be perfectly honest, I’ll probably end up with something small that get’s good gas mileage. Apparently, rather than midlife crisis, I’m becoming old and practical.

I can’t imagine any scenario where we have 3 or 4 cars … unless maybe my teenage kids come to live with us (that would make for one full house). Although, I guess if you have to have a car dilemma, it’s better to have too many, than not enough.

When my hubby and I got married, I traded in my Honda Accord for a
big red Chevy pickup truck. When we met, he was living out in the country and my poor Honda was taking a beating going out on the country roads here in Texas. My kids were shocked when I told them I had bought a pickup truck. They ‘accused’ me of “going country”, lol.

Even though we don’t live in the country anymore, having the pickup has been great for the times we need to load up at Home Depot or Lowe’s, or when we’re asked to help people move. Fortunately, the latter doesn’t happen much anymore, and we’ve started playing the “age” card, lol.

My kids were REALLY shocked when I told them I’d bought a red Corvette but still have the pickup truck. I don’t really “need” two vehicles and we’ve been discussing selling the truck, or maybe where the hubby would sell his Expedition and start driving the pickup. It’s pretty ridiculous but between us, we have four vehicles. We’re either going to sell the two pickup trucks we have, one small (S-10) and one large, or we’re going to get rid of the Ford Expedition.

Driving my pickup truck is a lot of fun, but the vette is well…even more fun.

Hi Mike,

Yes, there are certain parts of the world where you almost need to have a truck … the main reason I’m leaning towards one, is that sometimes I think Texas might qualify. I think the reason you don’t see many trucks in the UK is because those roads are so darn narrow. I can remember plenty of times doing 60 or 70 down the road, and having cars go by in the opposite direction so close that I probably could have reached out and given the driver a high-five.

Todd, in my army days we drove 4 x 4 Landrovers which were a challenge and your muddy encounter reminded me of that.

Since I moved to live in Thailand I have driven nothing but a pick up. You see very few in the UK but here they are more popular than cars.

I was reluctant at first driving the 3.0 litre monster but I soon realised it offers quite useful protection when driving on Thai roads. I reckon they are more a war zone than your current assignment!!

Funnily enough the truck featured is not popular here-poor resale value.
