Who'd a thought . . . . .?
This hits right at the home of my SSR purchase. Amazed to see my age category has nearly 11% of the owners (61-65).
While shopping for a new truck to trade-in my 01 Silverado I was with my 25 year-old son. He kept smiling and looking at me with those puppy dog eyes whenever we walked by this beautiful "Raider" Silver SSR. He already had visions of Raider emblems all over this bad boy.
I'm a roofing contractor, so although I don't work on the roof anymore, I really need a good dependable work truck to haul around a puter, printer, breakdown ladder, tools, equipment, nails, staples, etc. My son, along with a $12,000 discount, cajoled me into buying this truck. He said it would really piss off Mom (jokingly of course).
So, after I bought my SSR, I took it by my ex-wife's office, brought her out to look at it as I ran the top down, she asked me "Why in hell did you buy this ?", I replied, "So 65 year-old roofers can get laid once in awhile too ! ! "
We both found this incredibly amusing.
So as not to confuse anyone, my first SSR was a Ricochet Silver, I've since traded her in for my REDLINE ROCKET . . . (like the avatar above)
