      You might be right but the winter is not helping anything –that is for sure!

    Poor thing! But it looks alot like the trucks that use the farm road in front of the Tiny Ten. At least he has that color coordinated bug deflector to keep the hood looking good.. 😀

      That bug deflector is probably what is keeping the truck together!!! 🙂

    You think that is bad? You should see the driver!

          You think? I don’t know. You know how people are attracted to me—it could have made a great blog post!

            Yes, I’m sure that with your magnetism, the driver would have been a missionary at some nearby home for veterans or orphans or unwed mothers that is about to be foreclosed upon.. Or something like that..

            Jake that made me laugh out loud!! You are probably right! And he would have somehow engaged me in a lengthy conversation about what I could do to help them out…

            Yup, that’s exactly what I was thinking.

    Bet there is a piece of cardboard or plywood for floorboards!!! Reminds me of some of the farm trucks from years ago in good ol’Central NY!

    But, hey, if it runs and there are no holes in the floor… Just sayin. We had a van that was rusting quite a bit, too, but not as bad as this truck. My husband still misses that van, which we sold in 2011. It never really gave us any trouble and we had it for a long, long time. Of course, it helps that Randy is an automotive machinist and keeps our vehicles running in tip top shape.

      This one definitely has character and I suspect there might be some duct tape and cardboard and perhaps plywood involved……

    that’s what the back door of our van looked like. we just had it replaced.
    not sure why the back though? doesn’t the front hit more more snow, rain etc, when you drive?

      I would think so, too! Hmmm….did you back up a lot??? Weird!!! Maybe it was defective paint or something!

    This looks like many of the vehicles on the road in Ontario. Almost as bad in Alberta but they use a little less salt & a little more sand on the roads.

    Cars kept near the oceanfront get that same disease. Salt is rough on them.
