Thnk I need to drive my junk more

Cold front came through GA and tems and more importantly the humidity is down. Been a few weeks since I drove my 75 Jimmy.
I have a soft top for it. It's a Fasttrac and durrign the summer I just leave the windows out so they don't get all scratched up. When I park it I put the top without windows up and throw a tarp over it and bungie it down. It has sat for probably three weeks.

So Tarp is coverd with dew so I sort of wad it up throw it on the floor in the garage. I open the door and spider web all over the place. Knock them down.

Truck is tall and my usual deal is I reach in push the gas peddle with my hand and crank it to let it warm up a little while I roll down the windows and give it a once over. So I'm leaning in and my head is right near thw window crank and out of the corner of my eye something moves next to my head near the top door hinge. It's big and if it';s abug it going to be scary. I jump back. It's a FROG. Bugger has taken up residence in my fender. I walk away for a secodn and go back and he's gone and hid on me.

Start the truck. Honda front wheel is in line with the driverside exhaust. It's a POS 89 Accord. I drive it cause it gets 30mpg...Other wise I don't like it and find it uncomfortable. The truck has the bottom of the fender cut off and the tail pipes tucked up real high. The truck sits at a little bit of an angle where I park it and most of the time I put a spray can top over the pipe to keep water out. The spray can top was MIA and the tail pipe filled with water. So when I started it this moring it puked rusty water all over the accord to show it's attitude LOL.

Yeah I need to sell it or drive it more.
