The Brick
The Brick is my truck, a 1986 Chevrolet K-10 (0.5 ton,
four wheel drive).
It's named the brick as a combination of two things
- It is colored "Canyon Copper". In other words, it has a color
similar to that of a masonry brick.
- There's an old adage about airplanes, that
"If you put a large enough of an engine on it, even a _Brick_
can fly".
(I've often seen the F4 Phantom refered to that way).
In other words, a triumph of brute strength over aerodynamics.
Well... that's a good description of my truck. It's as aerodynamic
as a brick, and has a goodly sized V8 just to keep it rolling.
