good to bad

And back to good again. Maybe even great.

Laziness. Is it just me, or does winter just make you lazy? When it's cold outside, nothing is more inviting then the warmth of a cozy bed or couch. If there is a nice little honey there with you, all the better. Although I don't have me one, damn; the couch is still a nice place to be.

Your fingers get cold and hurt from the lack of blood, but, still, the 'to-do:' list only grows. So what are you supposed to do? You can't wait till spring, as that's show season, and you want your vehicle done for the shows, right? Eh...I find that if the weather isn't the best, my ass will be inside. Maybe I don't have to drive that I should, or that I'm just lazy.

You know what's strange, but one of the best feeligns around? When you invision something in it's final form; you look at your truck, not as the stock kit that it is now, but fully modded out. You dream of what you'll add and what you'll do, and how it'll all turn out in the end. Then one day, you realize that you're nearly there, that your vision and dream and become a reality. I had such a vision the other day. I kinda just had to step back and slow things down a bit.

Most of the mods to my truck started less then 2 years ago. Before I moved to the great city I'm in now, the only thing done to the truck were the Probe GT buckets, the grille, and the grille neon. That's it. I did have custom gauges, but not the ones I have now. Now look at where my truck is: far, far from stock. I'll be out driving and see a truck just like mine, only stock and it's then that I realize that I've created something unique.

My vision still is not complete though, as a matter of fact, the current state of the truck is what I call "1.5". With state "1.0" being stock, and "2.0" being my final dream. Many of the mods I have are halfway between stock and where I eventually want to be. Take my audio set-up for example. I've got the dual 12's and amp, but I eventually want to put them in a nice, fiberglassed box that is better suited for a mini-truck; not the whipped up in a weekend look that I've got going on now.

Stay tuned, even though I'll soon have a different vehicle to steal away my money, I won't ever forget about the truck that introduced me to some great people and great times.
