My high school wheels!

I was doing a seminar in Colorado a couple months ago and while I was walking across the hotel parking lot...I saw it! There it was! I have been looking for it the last 19 years!

My high school wheels!

I tell people all the time that I could win the UGLY DUCKING high school wheels competition!

This is the twin to my high school wheels (yes including the white topper)

What is it?...you ask.

It's a pea-green Ford Courier Pick-up. I describe the green color as the first crayon kids throw away when the open up the new box of 64 crayons!

I loved that truck! My wheels were never, nor ever have been, a status symbol to me. (see current 2002 Ford Taurus..aka The Blueberry... as another example of this). My truck was a means to get me from point A to point B without having to walk. And it accomplished that for 3 years!

In Colorado, I put a note on the truck that I wanted to buy it and wrote my cell number on the paper. I have never got a call so one of two things happen. One, the owner loved this truck so much that she could never part ways...or...Two, the owner thought it was a joke or I was a smart ass.

So if you ever run across this same truck, please let the owner know you have a buyer! (But it must have the white topper)
