Mike - that's a very good observation.

One of the disadvantages of working in the assembly plant is that you are surrounded with all these brand new vehicles; Chevy pickups, in my case. All day, every day, you are looking at these things going: "...ooh, there's a nice one...." or "...that would be good but in a different color..." or "...that's a good color but with different wheels...".

I had to succumb twice: once in 1980 and once in 1987. Picked out the options I wanted and then headed over to the local dealership. I followed both of these trucks down the line when they were built (making sure everything was up to snuff) and in the case of the '87 I actually drove it over to the shipping building.

I told "Lloyd" it was my truck; I left the plant at 1 am and by 5 pm the next day it was sitting at the dealership!
