Trucks and Vans...

I was looking for Dune toys and found this. I'm guessing utes count... since the Falcon was posted... and this does have a pickup bed:

Love that "Halo Twin Roof". "It's a window!"

I love her.

1. Bolting the two backwards-facing "outdoor bucket seats" into the pickup bed meant that Subaru could import the Brat as a 4-seat passenger vehicle, rather than as a light truck, thus avoiding the 25% "chicken tax" tariff. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicken_tax

2. I keep confusing Ruth Gordon with Ruth Buzzi. Does that mean I'm a bad person?

GASP YES! You need to watch some Laugh-In, and then watch Harold & Maude and get them sorted. ;D
