My favorite truck: 1980 GMC Sierra Pickup

Name: Marilyn Eden, 71, Valleyford.

Purchased: In 1988 in Spokane Valley.

Why I love it: When purchased, it was powered by an anemic 305 small-block. We repowered with a high-output 454 factory crate engine. I, at my age, enjoy a little exctiement. I enjoy the throaty roar of a big block and the sound of the tires as the truck starts moving.

My next car will be: Probably a golden chariot!
