i bought it right after we got married. it's the second car i've owned. when i bought it, it felt incredibly luxurious (you should have seen my first car! i loved it too...). i still liked my car, but it had left me sitting in a parking lot twice and on the street (!) once in the past 4 months or so and with the large amount of rust on the back fenders and the large dent in one of the front fenders (long story that makes me angry, so i won't tell it here. suffice it to say that the dent was created right in the carport pictured above) it was looking a little shabby. plus, it had 177K miles on it. i am a little sad to see it go, but my husband is not.
here is the truck:
my husband bought this vehicle while still in college. we'd been dating for a few years, so he was kind enough to sort of involve me in the purchasing decision, but it's pretty much been his truck. i think it's smelly inside, but it's been nice to have a vehicle that has some space to haul "stuff" when we're doing home improvement projects or going camping. when we inherited our third car last year, we decided that the truck was next on the list to go and tried (sort of half-heartedly) to sell it. no one bought it and in the meantime, the hauling capacity has come in handy once or twice and having three vehicles came in handy a few times (like when my car left me sitting!).
we are both thrilled with our new (new-fer us) honda element that will replace both of these vehicles. we are also both thrilled with the fact that the dealership was willing to give us some trade-in money for our two vehicles that allowed us to purchase the new one. we are probably mostly relieved that we do not have to try to sell either of them ourselves.
