Howdy, y'all! My name is Mike and I absolutely love scavenging for free stuff, random treasures, lost valuables and other interesting artifacts. I mainly rock the dumpster diving scene but can be found digging through trash curbside as well as scavenging the river bottoms for lost treasures in the summer months. Join me on my epic voyages!

Good old Dottie!! Remember when you found all that bailing wire and poor old Dottie was squatting hard. At the time that was the most weight and payout you ever had! You and Dottie worked hard that day! I hope the new truck can live up to Dottie's legacy!!!🛻 Cheers Mike!! Keep on trucking! Earl

Ive got a tear in my eye. Dottie was a great truck and made you a lot of money. She stayed in pretty nice shape for all the abuse you gave her, and she never complained once.

My suggestion is to name the new truck is Mickey, Mike and Mickey has a nice ring to it and opens up a few nicknames such as "The Mick", Mickster, Mickarooney, Mickamadamia, Mickmash of Trash
