A vehicle frame, also known as its chassis, is the main supporting structure of a motor vehicle to which all other components are attached, comparable to the skeleton of an organism.
Until the 1930s, virtually every (motor) vehicle had a structural frame, separate from the car's body. This construction design is known as body-on-frame. Since then, nearly all passenger cars have received unibody construction, meaning their chassis and bodywork have been integrated into one another. The last UK mass-produced car with a separate chassis was the Triumph Herald, which was discontinued in 1971. However, nearly all trucks, buses and pickups continue to use a separate frame as their chassis.

If what you want is out of sight, and all thats there is black and white,
Its easier to choose the wrong path.
But if you choose to believe, a painting your life can be,
With a light on youll see, color right on.
And with it, will be the life that we want,
Without it, we will throw away what we got,
So we will, so we will, not give in.
CHORUS
When we fall from our dreams its hard to pick ourselves up,
But its all in our heads; its all in our heads!
When we think theres nothing left, its hard to convince ourselves,
That its all in our heads, its all in our heads!
No when you fall in to this hell, theres others here, you just cant tell.
And like you, theyre all needing help.
But if theres still room to breath, then hope will show you the way,
To a new world where light, will surround you.
And with it, will be the life that we want,
Without it, we will throw away what we got,
So we will, so we will, not give in.
CHORUS
So, just believe, and we will feel, so alive,
And we will find the perfect way to survive.
Then we will be, so in love,
With the lives, that once has us, in denial.
CHORUS
If what you want is out of sight, and all thats there is black and white,
Its easier to choose the wrong path.
But if you choose to believe, a painting your life will be,
