She is finally here and O, my new truck! How do I love thee?
Let me count thy ways-
- I love thy new truck smell
- I love thy soft, soothing, baby blue dashboard gauges
- I love thy firm bucket seats
- I love thy Apple Car Play selecting my music for me and thy bluetooth for allowing me to talk on my iphone through thy technical goodness
- I love thy backup camera
- I love thy automatic transmission
- I love that thy starts every time I turn the key
- I love that I can count on thee to take me where I want to go and bring me back without breaking down
- I love that nothing rattles and sounds like it’ll fall off of thee when I hit a bump or a pothole
- I love thy taut, manly feel that surrounds me when I drive thee
- And finally, I love the adoring, envious stares of passersby
But mostly, I love that I can feel confident that my new truck will transport me safely on my cross country adventure. I know I’d said over and over again that I wanted to do the trip in my old, beloved 1989 F350. But the breakdowns and repairs of last summer eroded my confidence and finally convinced me that my old, beloved 1989 F350 just wasn’t up to the task, so I put her up for sale and fortunately found her a good home.

Good bye my old friend.
