New Truck!
At the end of February, I had to get rid of my car because it wouldn’t pass an emissions test. They actually wouldn’t even attempt to do the test because of several safety issues that would have to be fixed first. The car wasn’t worth fixing, since I only paid $50 for it, and I’d probably need to spend at least $500 to get it semi-road worthy.
I went without a car for about a month, getting drives to work with a coworker who lives near me. It was nice not having to buy gas or pay for parking, but after a while, I started to get annoyed at not having my own wheels. I was in contact with a guy who was selling his truck, but he wanted to find a replacement vehicle first. After a couple weeks of waiting, he finally found a new car and he sold me the truck.
It’s a 1998 Ford Ranger, and had about 173,000km on it when I got it. It’s a nice little truck, only 2 wheel drive, but has a lot of power with the 4.0L V6 engine. It took a bit of getting used to, since it’s a bit different than driving a car, but I’m really enjoying it now. I hope to put it to good use and I hope it lasts me a long time.
