Said goodbye to a great truck today....
It is with mixed emotions that I announce the passing of one great truck (mixed emotions being defined as: Watching your mother in law drive off a cliff in your new Mercedes... but I digress). ...

Good story, must have been hard to let her go. I sold my old motorcycle this spring. It was old, needed some work, had some rust on it, was too small and underpowered. I bought a replacement last fall when prices were low and sold my old one in the spring when prices were high. I hadn't ridden it in months, convinced myself I didn't like it anymore.
When someone came to look at it and bought it... it started to hit me that I wouldn't get to rid it again. The wife and I were dating when I bought that 10 years earlier. She bought me the exhaust for my birthday one year. We picked out the seat together after that. Put a lot of miles and a lot of fun on that bike. Watching it get driven up on a trailer to leave our life forever, my wife started to cry and I have to admit that I got a little choked up.
Its amazing how we can get attached to memories of a mechanical object and become attached to it. Glad you had quick turnaround on your truck and hope you have a GREAT time with your class C. The first camping trip my bride and I took together (her first ever) was my parents old class C. It was underpowered, smelled musty, not very comfy, stove didn't work anymore, etc etc. She had a great time and soon after we bought a truck again and bought a camper. I will forever remember that old, beat down class C.
