I've got a Bessy too! Cheers!Bessie. When I turned 16 my I paid my Dad $75 a month to buy his 1987 Ford Ranger from him for my first vehicle. The family had always called that truck Bessie, I don't really remember why. To this day it was one of the best vehicles I ever owned. With close to 400,000 miles on the odometer (and being a dumb 18 year old) I rolled Bessie 3 1/2 times and ended up hanging upside down from my seat belt in a ditch. I probably should have been dead, or at least suffered more injuries than the small scratch I got on my right elbow. Looking at pictures of the truck later the realization hit that the only areas of the cab not crushed were exactly where my girlfriend and I had been seated. That truck could have very well saved our lives.
I've owned a lot of vehicles since then: Mercury Tracer, Chevy S10, 2 more Rangers, 4 F150's and a Jeep. I've not loved any of them enough to bestow the name Bessie upon them. This Tacoma however...is Bessie reincarnated.
