My thoughts are Life is hard we get knocked down bruised and scars and hopefully we might get a nice retirement a vacation put our feet up and relax. This truck represents that. Pull up anywhere a Car Show, Wedding, Grocery store everyone loves the look then you pop on the umbrella pull out the hidden folding barstools from between the cab and chest pop-up the floor section. Revealing the hidden cooler and drink cups open the treasure chest with party trinkets turn on your music and let the good time roll.
Life is Short Enjoy as much and as often as you can.
