This guy must run a garage and has his kids helping with his float for a parade. I wonder if he borrowed one of his pumps from the station to put on his float.
I like his truck. Looks really solid. He shouldn't corner too fast with all that on the "float"... some people will get some free lube oil cans as a bonus for attending the parade...
I well remember my father pulling into a station, having the hood popped and fluid levels checked quickly. And the old blue paper towels drying off our windshields. As a youth I participated in doing these chores for many years, at my local stations. Until the Fed stuck it's nose in and wrecked the process.

I read something last summer that was talking about them at least partially rescinding that "law". Now I wonder if they actually did so....

And it's county by county at that! That's one sick civil servant genius emeritus that devised that...
