Default I just can't do it

Well,,, I was gonna sell my truck or trade for something a little chaper,,,, but I just can't bring myself to do it. I shopped all week, test drove a couple trucks, even got the paperwork all ready to sign,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, and I couldn't do it. I've made a decision,,, the wife will go before my truck will [8D]. My truck just hit 18k miles and I swear this thing has never run smoother or performed better,,,, I mean, this thing will freakin fly, I guess it just took time for the engine to wear in and get seated. The mpg have gotten better to,, 18mpg @ 75mph.

We talked about that for a good while on the road home. I think he has forgotten about it for the time being. But you gotta watch that sucker, 6 months form now when it has gone to long term storage in my mind he will bring it up again.
