Okay, I will readily admit that this Toontown truck I am considering is
simply silly, impractical, and to some, I'm sure, ridiculously indulgent.
This is a 0-60 in 5 sec. convertible toy truck, good for nothing much more
than just making the driver grin while annoying others whose asses/arses are
impaled on a stick.
But for somebody who proudly wears a Mickey Mouse watch, views life as a
brand-new, forgiven-for-yesterday adventure every day, beginning whenever I
wake up, and who's aproaching that dreaded 65th birthday this coming
Feburary, this toy is perfectly appropriate and may well be the last vehicle
I buy before, 10 years from now, I turn into one of those senile old farts,
peering through the steering wheel, driving 10 mph under the speed limit in
the left lane, with the right blinker flashing, in a Lincoln Town Car or a
Cadillac Seville, or maybe even, diety of choice forbidding, a Volvo or
Mercedes 4-door crypt. I'd rather drink Scotch whisky and die behind the
wheel.*
Take another look! This is the car/truck for me! I couldn't care less if
it's foolish, 'cause so am I.
