Blue and I have a mostly unrequited relationship.  Always loved some colors of blue and it has led me slightly astray.

When we lived in TX in 1995 I bought a 1985 Chevy short box 1/2 ton pickup that was a really pretty shade of metallic blue.  I spotted it on a used car lot July 4th and bought it the next day. To get it out of town took a battery and alternator.  Once we got about 10 miles down the road the fuel pump crapped out.

Changing the fuel pump on a hot Chevy small block V8 on  a 100 degree day while working by the side of the road in a couple of inches of dust is far from the most fun thing I've done.  But I got it done after a bit, then drove it home.  Found out the transmission needed a rebuild after that. Oh well..."Some days you get the b'ar, some days the b'ar gets you."

Once I got through all that, it was a good pickup and I loved the color.  Some bast**d stole the tailgate off it one night while it was parked in my driveway.  I found a GMC tailgate, sanded it and painted it with rattle cans; got a pretty good color match.  I added a hasp and padlock inside the bed to keep some other miscreant from stealing that tailgate.

That was the only blue vehicle I've owned.  But I like 'em. I doubt I'd have bought that pickup if it wasn't blue.

Sorry for stealing the tailgate. I didn't know it was you. But it is a nice coffee table now, so thanks!

Normally I hate silverburst but on this bass I do like it.
