    When I was a teen, I drove my parents’ 94 Chevy S10 with the mini-extended cab. The kind with those two, tiny little sideways seats.

    That truck had a 4-banger in it and was lucky to hit 70mph with nothing in the bed and a stiff tailwind. But damn if it didn’t haul everything we threw at it.

    Beauty bark, topsoil, gravel, rubble from demo work, river rock, goodwill hauls, and moved multiple friends into apartments, piled way over the cab with furniture.

    It screamed and revved, but it never failed us. About 20 years of faithful service before it was put out to pasture.

    I still miss that truck…
