I like slowing down, relaxing, driving this truck on the back roads on the weekend is what its all about for me. Im on the freeway doing 80 plus all week long. LOL. The point of the truck is it take you back in time and take you to places you might not otherwise expect to go. Learn to live slow is the advice I've taken from ownership of this truck.
Well said 52flthed - Driving the back roads in my stock 1951 F1 flathead v8 is a perfect back-to-the-future, relaxing, slow down type of experience.
