Hey Michael,
Is that your idea of helper springs you have on your truck?
How long could she keep it lifted?

Naw.. I know you wouldn't really do that.
BTW how are they doing now? Little one must be getting big.

Are you getting the vinyl wrapper where they pay you for advertising? Or is it just to change the color?
I hear when you get the one where they pay you; they install a GPS transponder to track where you drive.

Somebody should make a wrapper that changes what your truck looks like, maybe one that looks like a 2006 or a Hummer from the side.

I know some people in the company that makes vinyl wrap for advertisment, so I can get the vinyl wrap for free and only have to pay a few hundred for install. First I need to pay a few hundred for body work, though.

I'm thinking about going with a Trans-Am style turkey on red vinyl, with maybe some flames, and The Incubator lettering down the side of the bed...

Why would I want The Incubator to look like a newer Dodge or a Hummer? She's a first gen Dodge, come on...

There's really a whole, err, motif of reasons... As in, multiple things add up to it...

1. First of all, it's red.
2. Second of all, as somebody already mentioned, "air conditioner sacrificed to the gods of torque".
3. Thirdly, the name fits with the turkey logo.
4. Finally, because there's so many hot chicks inside.
