I’ve owned my truck for about two years now. It’s low on power, creaks and groans from worn suspension and steering components, and requires extra attention. I’ll never get rid of it.
My truck belonged to a coworker’s late husband who passed several years ago. He was the second owner. After his passing, she drove it to work daily for about a year, and I always loved it. She ended up parking it for about a year and a half, and turned down offers on a regular basis. I had a fairly serious motorcycle accident and when I recovered, she asked me if I wanted it.
She knew that I would get it running again and would respect it’s value to her family. It was incredibly unexpected, but I took full ownership of this truck and started working on it. The deal was that if I ever decided to sell it, I would offer it to her before anyone else and she would reimburse me for my investment value. I see myself as this truck’s caretaker, and I’m incredibly humbled to have been given this opportunity. I send her videos and pictures on a regular basis, and she’s very happy that the truck is looked after. Truth is that this truck came along at a point when I needed it; I needed something to work on and was on a tight budget.
What’s your truck’s story?
