Default Farewell, Mighty Grape...

So we took the Mighty Grape (See it he
http://alexisparkinn.com/fuel_truck.htm ), our '95 Nissan pickup
fuel-hauling truck...



I had the frames 'welded up' on my Dodge Darts ALL-THE-TIME (especially
prone to rusting out was that pesky A-frame). But it looks like you've
already decided: "Toyota T-100 ...so I don't have to burn 100LL. Make it
so".

"Do you have the mogas STC?"

"Yup, I burn T-100." g

(so-named because of its hideous purple color)


Hey!! Purple Pride Baby!

So when does 'The Grape is Back' bumper sticker go on your 'new' truck? :-)

Dang. My shop looked at it, and just shook their heads. Nothing left
to weld anything TO under there. I'd have gone that route if there
was any hope...

We actually looked at an identically-colored, purple Chevy S-10...but
thought, nah, we CAN'T do this Vikings Purple thing anymore...

Well, I''m not impressed. I'm willing to bet that my '89 Ranger has seen a
lot more salt here in Detroit than your '95 Nissan in Iowa...

The parking lot at work today was glistening white - but not a flake of snow
to be seen anywhere. Sheesh. I hate salt.
