I love how the Trail vehicles show age and wear, not like the $80,000 Escalade variety that Allen’s Cherry Davis Trail somehow found herself driving… Although this truck is ‘new’ enough to have head restraints, which first started showing up in 1969 when they were mandated by the NHTSA.

I guess we’ll learn more about the “Waterslide Summer Project Deal” in future strips…
