And the LOVE CITY Suzuki belongs too…

High Tide bartender Richard Schulenberg, who says he’s had the truck for going on four years now. So what’s with the paint job?

He bought it from his friend Mike, one of several buddies who’d moved to St. John from San Antonio.

“We were having a party one night and Mike’s brother-in-law, who’d gone to St. John Hardware and bought every color of spray paint they had, decided to paint the truck,” Richard tells us. “When the sun came up, that’s when we all saw it for the first time, and I really dug it so I bought it a month later.”

In addition to LOVE CITY on the passenger side, there’s a marlin on the driver’s side and a fishing woman on the hood.

Richard admits it’s no Lexus, but that’s why he likes it. “The stereo works, it runs well and my girlfriend doesn’t mind if I take my dog to the beach in it.”
