8. They got the fleet rate from the Ford dealer
These people are like about half of my customers: they spend $40,000 on a pickup then go into apoplectic shock if they get a scratch in the bed or the bedliner gets scuffed up. Which is insane to me; if you buy a pickup, you're supposed to haul cargo in it, and scratched-up beds happen when you haul cargo.

And I'll answer where Laura Bush drives: nowhere. She doesn't go anywhere in it. She can't leave the pig farm in that vehicle; as the wife of the pResident, if she wants to go out of the secure area she's got to be in an armored vehicle with four full-size doors so the Secret Service can cram her in if need be; there are pickups that would work but she's not standing in front of one of them.

Since none of us can actually VISIT the pig farm, you don't see how many hours went into getting this shot. It's posed as hell and you can see that just by looking at it. Examine the edge of her truck door: it's perfectly clean. Now go outside and look at the edge of your car door. I bet it doesn't look like that. I bet the trucks at the dealer don't have door edges that are that clean. And the lighting is all wrong: background brighter than foreground?

The GWB photo is staged too. Look at his hand on the door handle. Nobody opens the driver's door with his right hand. Go try it. Driver's doors are left-hand outswing; it would be uncomfortable to open one with your right hand.

10. I think pickles truck is a dodge...

14. That's thoroughly possible...
I was looking at the grab handle in the cab. Looks fairly Fordlike to me.

15. "Propane One" (!)
Edited on Fri Aug-12-05 07:17 PM by Lisa
Is it possible that he's already cracked up this one? They probably have a whole bunch of white pickups hidden in the barn, to replace ones that he drives into trees etc.



http://www.off-road.com/ford/news/2002_05 /

"The Crawford Community Center was the site of an alternative fuels first on November 7th, as members of the Propane Education & Research Council (Council), propane industry leaders, and officials of state and federal government met to hand-off the keys of a propane-powered pick-up truck for use on the ranch of President George W. Bush. Bush Ranch Foreman Kenneth Engelbrecht accepted delivery of the demonstration project “Exceptional Energy”"

http://www.sparlings.com/gasline/bush.html

"Both the truck dubbed "Propane One", and refueling equipment were provided through a co-operative effort among propane industry members."

12. Is she getting out of a pickup?
Despite the caption, it looks more like a minivan to me, or maybe an SUV.

17. No, look at how high the seat is in the cab.
Edited on Fri Aug-12-05 07:32 PM by Ilsa
That is either a large SUV or a large pickup. I suspect it has running boards for her to step up into the cab.
