The Top Ten reasons why you should
keep your old truck (and not get a new one):
1. The new ones don’t have the auto-shut off feature—stalling at stops.
2. Knowing yours is still running keeps the rural firemen on their toes.
3. Using the trip odometer to schedule fuel fill-ups would become a lost art.
4. Opening the driver’s door with the outside handle has become habit.
5. It’s too cool for working air conditioning anyway.
6. Some of that fuel in the bottom of the tank cost over $4 per gallon.
7. Saying the tires are worth more than the rest of the truck is a bragging right.
8. After all, it is 22 years old and still has the original exhaust system.
9. You get to see if the third transmission lasts longer than the first two.
10. It was cool to see the odometer turn 222,222.2 miles—now let’s try for 333,333.3.
