Garbage Truck

One habit to which I adhere
I clean out my Ford once a year
Back seat yet to fill
Keep truckin’ until
I’m no longer able to steer

Tim :Oh Yes why do today what you can put off 'til tommorrow. Congratulations on your placement. I did see a car like this in real life recently. He had to ask me if anything was coming so he could pull out onto the street. Love you. SuZ x

I LOVE this one, Tim. I have seen trucks like these in my lifetime and they are lucky to get them cleaned even once a year! Goes awesome with the quote. Congrats on a great win from me!!

I think that is the best saying ever... Dragon, Hubby, and Grandpa Troll agree with it whole heartedly! Fun write.

I like to clean my ford when it rains, around here that happens about annually. What a fun read, best of luck in the comp.

Right you are Scott! Here in South Louisiana it rains a lot so Mother Nature is usually my car-wash of choice...
