i was wondering

[vansdonk]

Well, mine is kinda simple. Van is the name of my 3 year old. Donk is the name of my '69 Series. The name Donk is painted on the back of the truck . It's bad luck to change a given name, so Donk she is. When we brought the truck home, Van was about 1 1/2. He took over and it's been his truck since. He also owns a '74 MGB (Daisy) and the trailer out back. He helps work on it and everything. I have to post some pics tonight if the kids stay out of my hair long enough.

I got mine out mudding with a couple of friends. I had to get into a mudhole that ended up being like 5 feet deep. Ended up having to lift up the entire back of a four wheeler to get the kid out of the mud. On top of that i have been known to pick up 50cc scooters. on a couple of occasions i have lift up the rear corner of a small car like a dodge neon, honda crx, and a honda civic hatchback.

Geez... you remind me of my old buddy Carmine, who passed away twenty years ago. 6'2" about 300 lbs and built like a linebacker. He used to like showing off by picking up cars by the rear bumper. Toyotas, Hondas, anything that size he had no problems with. Could get the rear wheels a goo 6" off the ground.

One day though, about a year before he died, he was showing off and went to lift the back end of an old Datsun parked across the street. He grabbed the rear bumper and went to lift... and the whole bumper came off right in his hands! He just dropped it like a hot potato and went running around the corner. When we caught up to him I asked him why he was running, and he said he was afraid the owner was going to come out and yell at him. I told him, "Carmine, if I were in my house, and I saw a guy your size rip the bumper off my car with his bare hands, the last thing I'm gonna do is go out and yell at him. And, if I did, all you'd have to do is pretend you were going to eat it and I'd leave you the heck alone!"
