Dashboard...or Petri Dish??

Hot! In Photo Challenge: Dashboard

This is the environment of the dashboard in my 14 year old truck - no air, no radio, ripped seats, glove compartments that won't close. Cool turtle shell I found, a snake skin from a snake that shed in the truck this summer - it also seems to keep my boss from coming over to talk to me when I drive to work. Plus which, everyone needs an extension cord on hand. It is totally rusted out, but it still gets up and goes - a good old 4x4 6 cylinder red Ford F-150 pickup. My other dashboard is a mess too, but I like this one best.

Interesting picture of the things you carry with you in your truck and it looks like a heavy duty vehicle that will get you through ruts and deep snow in the road:)
