Passed down from my grandma, this truck defined my senior highschool year and every summer since.
My Grandma was left unable to drive by illness in the late 1980's, the truck sat in an ally for 20 years being vandalized and snowed on.
When I got it, it was in rough shape. I drove it back to Vancouver (it hardly made it) and it became a project for my dad and I. 5 years went past and I got my licence.
Now I want to keep it forever.
