Old Truck

Today, I sold my Blazer. I sold it to one of my good friends from high school, and I know he should enjoy it just as much as I did. It was my first vehicle. I payed every bit of that $500 myself. My dad and I spent the better part of the two months after i got my drivers license working on that thing in my uncle's garage. A crankshaft, a water pump, belts, hoses, battery, starter, solenoid, a set of tires, and a cd player, later it was fit for the road. It was the best truck I could have ever have asked for to start out with. I had it for just over two years. I've had a lot of memories with that thing, in the seemingly short 12,000 miles that I put on it. In the end I put more money in that thing to keep it on the road, than I had originally paid for it and more than it was really worth.

It wasn't the fastest thing around. It wasn't the biggest, most lifted, and loud thing. But I loved it. It was my truck, no one else's but mine.
