Mr. Chemistry isn’t going to be happy about this, but the Texas Auto Writers Association named the Ford F-150 as the “Truck of Texas” at this year’s Texas Truck Rodeo. Mr. C will have to settle for “Full-Size Pickup Truck of Texas” which was won by the Dodge Ram 1500.

When someone loves their truck just a little too much, it’s time to wrap it in cellophane.

DOMN8R

I was driving down the feeder road to get onto 59 Sunday afternoon, when I saw this enormous Ford Excursion drive by heading up Sheperd. The traffic was bad, so it took me several blocks to get close enough to get a decent picture. Then, fortuitously, the driver pulled into Harp. The license plate, DOMN8R, says it all.

Update: How do you even get into a truck this tall? Unfortunately, I missed the driver getting out of the truck while I drove around the block.

Update 2: Here are the truck’s specs.

Fish hitch!

My wife and I saw this while driving home one evening and we loved it. Notice the fish that appears to be “biting” on the trailer hitch. When the brake lights were on, it’s tail wagged and it’s eyes lit up red. Apparently, this guy likes fishing.
