About a month ago Paul’s white truck (aka the beater with pealing paint and cracked windshield) blew the transmission on his way home from work. Since it was going to cost more to fix it than the truck was worth, Paul sold it to the owner of the transmission place for $100. It has been killing him to drive the red Dodge to work everyday, with the price of gas it was a real killer every week. Last Sunday he asked me to put the truck up for sale on Craigslist, so that he could buy another beater that gets better gas mileage. Well it only took a week to sell it and now it’s gone. It was really hard to let it go it was a part of our family since it was the first vehicle we have bought together when we got married. It was a good thing that the neighbor had a truck for sale that fit our needs. It’s not much to look at but it get way better gas mileage, since it is a 4 cylinder, manual 5 speed, it has a little flip down seat in the extra cab that Haley really likes. We plan to get a family car after I return to work.
