You joke, but i used to drive a 1957 Chevy Truck, bright yellow too!
Hey, I too drove a 57 chev pickup, bright yellow, brush painted at that, or was it a 56... not sure now! Got arrested when I was 15 for racing against a 54 ford coupe out on the TransCanada Highway. Just as well... saved me from the shame of losing the race... pickups are not the best for racing.
I have always been too frugal and practical with my vehicles, none ever pimped out, but I was into speed. In my teenage years, I seldom paid more than $100 for any vehicle and I usually drove them (or towed them) to the dump. Before the chev, I had a (54 or 55 I think) dodge pickup with a flat-head eight and pushbutton automatic tranny. I used to contemplate how much gas to put in the tank in case the car or truck didn't last as long as the gas did.
The only new truck I bought was a 75 GMC but that was a bad year for recycled metal and it started to rust out the first year. After my teenage years, I drove my almost new 87 Plymouth Voyager minivan for 15 years until it died recently.
My wife bought herself a slightly used olds so I now drive what was her 92 Cavalier.
