    I used to worry I hadn't raised my boys to be butch enough, but then I remember the times I had to sew them back together after they went screaming down the hill, wedged into the beds of their Tonka dump trucks, and I am reassured that all is well with the elhigh progeny.

    Hey, at least he's not running empty! He can honestly say he's carrying a load.


    Plus the little dump truck is having the time of its life. Woohoo! Running with the big boys!

    Is this any worse than how Paul McCartney got his Lexus hybrid delivered?

    Just add water and BAM. Instant Quarry truck. Who else do you think they get them there?


    Hopefully it does not rain or that will be a bad end to the day.

    Back when I was kid we didn't have neat toys like that. No, all we got was a rusting piece of metal roofing to dig in the town dump with. We certainly didn't a custom delivery service to boot.

    @Flathead Smith: Bah, we would have dreamed of a piece of metal roofing to dig 'oles with.


    We had to gnaw our own legs off and play with our femurs, then when we were done diggin' the 'oles, our dad would beat us to sleep with our own legs.

    @Alfisted: Nah, the vents don't match. I was thinking Chevy Uplander for a while, but I don't think that's it (again, the vents). The dash texture looks very Japanese (like it's out of a Toyota), but that's just a guess.

    I have actually been seeing this type of thing on several flatbeds lately. I think it's some kind of trucker joke.
