Deuce Use?

[aximony]

As a novice to this forum, I have noticed that many members either own or are looking to purchase an M35. But, I'm a bit unclear as to why it's so popular.

Is it a collectors item for many, or is it just a good truck to haul stuff?

I almost feel like I should surrender to peer pressure and get one , but I'm not sure why I'd need one.

There is a thread on here about why own a deuce. I would post a link to it but that is beyond my technical capabilities. If you search the deuce forums you will see many uses for these trucks.

It's only use for me is to make me happy. And it does...

Most people just buy a deuce because they like them. That is enough of a reason for me. I might do some hauling and tow something every now and then but over all, I just think that it is a cool thing to have. Why do people buy 200 mph sports cars when the speed limit in most places is only 65??? Its just all in what you want nothing more nothing less but this is just my opinion.

Because when I look at one, it speaks to me and makes my heart sing!

There is a very good thread out there along the lines of "why did you buy your deuce?" or something like that.

Mine does too.... it usually says : "Go over it Ken.... I can make it" or "It's just a Mazda..... I would LOVE that as a hood ornament"....

 

[Westex]

Mine not only speaks. It belches. Smoke, lots of smoke. Just one of the many adorations of owning one.

Do not surrender to peer pressure. Get one because you want one, not because someone else thinks you should have one. When I drive my Deuce, it's an unexplaineable rush. I also enjoy belonging to a Club with Guys and Gals that enjoy driving them in Parades and such.

If you have to ask...

Now that is a statement I can understand! I noticed that on the same day I won an auction for a deuce- my body hair started to grow, my voice lowered and girls started to notice me. Not bad for a 16 yr old- but great for a 55 yr old guy!

 

[badgmc56]

Because I'm in love with mine!

Use? We don't need no stinking use .......

I used mine to get multch and pinestraw. Also, I went to Publix last week to rent a movie from red box. It's a multi-use truck

 

[shannondeese]

I bought one because as a kid I watched two of my older brothers drive them when they were in the Army. Now that I have one I drive her all the time because she makes me smile. The second one I'm still trying to figure out how it made it home but it's there now so no worries. I think my first one got lonley and was wispering in my ear or maybe screaming.

 

[DUG]

I bought one CUZ I CAN.

Too many things are getting so YOU CAN'T, even if you wanted to.

Besides, I spent more on the transmission in my Chevelle than I did on the whole truck. Can't beat that.

You have a good point, these trucks should come in pairs

 

[toddm]

I bought mine because I always wanted one and the time was right for me to buy it and my wife said it was OK, that's an important one!

dont tell me that....i only have one right now and its not even home yet

 

[m16ty]

I think the main reason so many people have them is because they are so cheap. If a "run of the mill" M35A2 cost 10k I bet there wouldn't be near as many owners.

Just about every male (and some females) has wanted a big truck ever since they were a kid. Most bigger vehicles are out of most people's price range. The deuce fills the void.

I've wanted alot of stuff since I was a kid. Most of the stuff I can't afford.
