With all due respect, I really don’t think the joy of owning a truck like a Power Wagon can be measured strictly in terms of how often we drive them. I tend to think it is more about how often we enjoy them. Enjoyment of these trucks can come in many forms. For some of us, there is certainly a joy in driving them. There can also be a joy in preserving them in their survivor form. Some people might enjoy restoring their truck and nothing more. The list goes on and on. These trucks don’t relegate us to a particular path.
Personally, I like to drive my Power Wagon. I drive it because it feels good to drive it. I drive it on hunting trips. I drive it when I am in no particular hurry to get where I’m going. I often drive it when I have no particular place to go. I enjoy those days, but I am neither better nor worse than anybody else for my experiences. I don’t look down upon those people who choose to enjoy their truck in some other way.
I think the act of preserving an antique fire truck has a great deal of merit. This truck is a beauty. She has a history worth preserving. In my humble opinion, regardless of how she is enjoyed from here forward, she doesn’t deserve to be tagged as a “trailer queen.”
Just my opinion. Again, with all due respect.
