Bitersweet Day.

For the last 9 years we have been to **** and back. You never got stuck and you never left me stranded. You had heart, and I wish you the best. Fair winds and following seas old friend.

New truck, we have no bond. We haven't been anywhere we shouldn't have been, doing something we shouldn't have been doing. You weren't the one there to take my kid fishing his first time. You don't know the secrets laughed about on the tailgate with cold beer and old friends. You have big shoes to fill, I pray my life will be as interesting in our days together as it was with the one that came before you.

Ode to the old truck...

And I thought I was the only one...

Congratulations on the new one though!

Fully understand the attachment, I just bought a new car and had to drive right by the nice new Tundras, but just can't let the old one go.

Congrats on the upgrade. I am sure it will serve you well.

Its strange, but I also feel some kind of strange attachment to my vehicles. Usually something happens to make them feel like they are mine. Usually a long weekend wrenching on it, swearing at it, spending $500 on parts, when its about 95 degrees out, then it feels like mine.

Sounds like you have the heart of a poet. I enjoyed that.

Just think...someone new will get the old truck and their cycle will begin anew. The beat goes on.

The circle of life spins on. It will be alright. It just takes time.

I never really get attached to any of my cars/trucks. I would rather get rid of them in 2/3 years and move on. Out of warranty...out of my driveway. Maybe if I had a Sunday driver that I built and toiled on, but not a daily driver.
