The thing that tickles me about America is that the parking spaces are big enough for a truck like that LOL!

I seriously thought that trucks like that only got driven at Monster Truck Rallies and the like. Are you telling me that people drive things like that on the road like a regular vehichle????? I am speechless, and let me tell you, that don’t happen too often (just ask my DH!).
I absolutely love that picture. I’ll have to share it with my DH because people often laugh at me because I am 5′ 3″ and drive a Ford Excursion. I’m not sure I could get my leg up that high. How fun!!!
That is a great photo. Judy, didn’t you teach your momma never climb into strangers truck, my mom would have done that too!!!!!!! At 86 and 4’9″ now that would be a hoot. Have fun with your folks

Ladies, it’s not just a Southern thang…(and I can say that–I have Southron credentials).
The guy across the street from me here has a “climb up into the driver’s seat” vehicle. He’s in his early 30s, to judge by looks, but might be late 30s. In any case, a guy who *should* have some sense. Right….
Last spring, I was weeding out by the street and, out of the corner of my eye, noticed some odd movement. I weed and do all my gardening w/o my glasses on so I can see close-up things; further away stuff is pretty blurry. I saw a blurred image of my neighbor trying to figure out just *how* to get into his own jitney with–yep–a broken left leg. Ski injury. (I asked.)
He managed to get into the driver’s seat by semi-launching himself with his crutches. It looked pretty tricky. All I can say is, If you’re gonna have one of these beasts, keep a regular car around Just In Case Something Goes Wrong. Not with the beast, but with you.

Well I don’t have southern credentials – but I can 100% for certain say it’s not just a southern thing. Come visit Michigan – in the summer of course haha – and you’ll see LOTS of trucks like that. As a matter of fact, about 10 years or so ago I owned a truck like that. I’m 5 foot tall exactly. I kept a three step ladder with a rope tied to it behind the seat – so I could pull it up after me once I got in. Wow, I’m almost embarrassed to admit that now…..

Whoa momma! Luckily the rage to have your own monster truck has pretty much died out around here. .

Linda says
….not unless she carries a folding ladder in her purse 🙂
Julie says
Hee! she needs a fold down stepladder!
Pam says
Good one. A sense of humor keeps you agile mentally and obviously she is agile physically.
Go Mama!
Chris says
What a fun photo! I’ve always wondered how people got in those… A running leap? A remote controlled step ladder? Climb up on beer cans? 🙂
