When you pay 200$ for a NEW floormat that arrives cracked and mildewy and you are OK with that.

Haha that reminds of this time me and my dad bought this garden tractor from a older guy in our town. It was a real well built older tractor from the 60s kind of like a sears suburban but was some fleet and farm type store brand. He told us about how this thing wouldn't quit even after taking part of 2 of his fingers. He showed us the 2 nubs then told us about how he had a 52 chevy pickup at the time and his son who drove him to the hospital kept grinding gears so he had to shift the whole time poor guy.

When you open the floor vents and it sounds like the grain box is emptying into the cab...
Haha, I remember as a kid my dad telling me "Close your eyes, I'm gonna open the vents." I learned fast not to open them until the sound of leaves and other bits flying around stopped!

You know you're working on an old truck when you do it for relaxation.
