    Basically all I have in life is making sure my S10 is serviceable as my hearse. I keep telling my next of kin “Don’t you rent no fuckin’ flatbed Cadillac when I’ve got a perfectly serviceable Chevrolet. It carried me everywhere while I was alive, it can carry me one more time.” Which for most of my adult life has meant keeping the thing in roadworthy condition, but now that I think about it probably also means I’m going to have to build an S10 compatible casket. I’m a slightly short and stocky guy, so you could build me a crate that’ll fit between the bulkhead and the tailgate, but I bet all the ones down at the local funeral home are built for a 6 foot tall man, and that ain’t gonna work.

    I like my little truck, is what I’m trying to say.

        Smooth side, V6, 4 speed automatic, pewter metallic paint with chrome trim, charcoal interior. She’s got 240,000 miles on the clock, I figure about 60,000 more and I’ll have her properly broken in. She’s my 16th birthday present and the only thing I’ve ever touched that didn’t turn to pus.

            For years I commuted by motorcycle, and I’ve got a Buick I’m using up instead of my pickup at the moment.
