Good for you, Anna. I wisht I could experience mass freedom and non-publicity in bosshood.

I had one of those Datsuns, a '78 longbed. It was a swell truck except for having seats designed by a vicious misanthrope. They came with a couple of concealed lateral steel rods to maintain constant ouch on the iliac regions. Worst seats ever.

I had a friend that was a bag boy at the grocery store after school in the very early 80's. he bought a used orange Datsun identical to that. it was in near new condition. then he worked more and bought a near new used 1981 Honda CR125. he smoked Menthols and we all rode bikes at the motocross track. he didn't race. he rode around around easy and slow enjoying the bike and truck. his name was Brad. he always wore button down white church shirts, probably because for work.

I wish I made more than 90-100 USD per hour online chatting with babes, all day. I would buy a speedboat.

he had a 1980 Honda CR125 not 1981. just for the record. and it was the red motor bike with the fancy aluminum Showa piggyback Honda shocks. very beautiful bike. last year air cooled.

I was just talking to a friend who really wished *somebody* would bring back these small, inexpensive pickups. These days, what with modern tech, they'd almost be luxurious compared to the originals.

[Noting that the relatively recent Toyota Tacoma began, mid- '90s?, as a nicely updated Little Japanese Truck and stayed that way for a laudably long time before the mfgr fed it steroids and made it bulbous and stupid. Perhaps still the closest thing to a bare-bones LJT that can be had on this continent.]
