Default Found while shopping...

I had to stop at the local Walmart for supplies - this was in the parking lot:



And next to my car...


More photos can be found here: http://www.photobucket.com/FoundWhileShopping. This was really an amazing daily driver.

Very sharp truck, although if there was one thing I would change, it would be the visor! That thing needs to be polished, not painted.

dabears, I'm going to guess and say that polished shine you see between the trailer and truck fenders is just the trailer's landing gear brace.

What a great find! Very sharp truck. Great photos, what camera did you use? Great weather for photos, the blue sky sets off the red paintwork, it really pops in those light conditions.

At first I thought He was talking about the fuel tank for the refrigerator unit but then I read it again and figured that was sarcasm about that red Power Wheels toy next to the truck.

Gonna be painting yours red now too? I'm really surprised at how clean that truck is. I don't see any bugs on it anywhere! I like when you come across working trucks like this. The owner takes a lot of pride in it, and keeps it spit shined!

I took the photos with an iPhone 4, just the regular 4 not the 4s. I too like the painted visor. I think the matching refer paint really sets the whole thing off. And you don't want to go making Santa mad - that 'power wheels' is his little red sleigh!!!

You would be suprised how big it is inside - Santa is not exactly a small man - this Santa requires no additional stuffing - he carries it all with him. These cars basically have no back seat, and although the seats are placed closer together - they are a full sized car inside - a ton of headroom, lots of leg room, just nothing in front of or behind you. Which will probably bring up the whole safety issue. Highest rating available.

Those photos rock, for being taken with a phone.

What kind of gas mileage does that smart car get anyway? Is that why guys buy them? I can't imagine they do so hot on the interstate. But for running around town?

The smart cars actually happen to be one of tge new kool swap cars to build. By swap car I mean swap an engine from another manufacturer into it snd they are really really fast. Guys buy the smart car, pull the engine out and replace it with the Suzuki Hyabusa streetbike 1300cc engine in it and there owning ferraris. Very fast, look up the video on either YouTube or streetfire.
