Give me a Toyota pickup with the diesel power plant. If it holds up in places best described as a boil on the ass end of the world; maintenance done by an illiterate goat herder, and fueled with diesel that was fresh when the Beirut barracks had an Eagle, Globe, and Anchor flying out front, it's all good! Too bad the chicken tax screwed us out of that one.

As for my politicians, make em rugged and lean. Give them the heart of a servant and a deep hatred for smug narcissists. While we're wishing, let them want to leave office after one or two terms because the greasy nature of Washington makes them physically ill.
