Vanishing Things

It happened just the other day. To fulfill my Jewish cowboy destiny I was looking for an new 1/2 ton 4WD pickup truck. This should be easy ,say I, I'll just browse the Chevy website and spec. something basic to see what I'm up against.

Bad news, I was pulled up short on almost ever model save one. Chevrolet does still offer an manual transmission in one of their small engine trucks that I really would not buy.

Thus began my defeat at the hands of an industry with no reason to supply me with the very thing I thought was synonymous with the words "pickup truck".

In the words of Fred Sanford "You hear that Elizabeth... I'm comin' to you, I'm comin' home to Georgia "
