Some people just don't have any originality. For instance one of my former colleagues who no longer works here is putting together a little red truck. How original.

I bought my S-10 August of '01 and immediately began customizing it and making it my own. Once I got on staff at Truckin', I made my dreams come true by helping to build it into a sick truck.  Fastfoward to current day, and another magazine editor from another title is also building a standard cab S-10. Surprise surpsrise, this guy is known for not having an original thought in his head and now he's following in my footsteps, again.
He lowered it, put billet wheels on it, added some performance ( I mean better MPG) parts to it, changed out the lights, and blah blah blah.
I did all of that 5 years ago.
I've heard it said imitation is the fondest form of flattery, in that case, I'm all red.
Some things will never change.
