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.
