We Drive a Used Truck
And I don’t make any bones about it. A big, blue 3/4 ton with a full back-seat named “Betty-Lou”, she’s been pretty good to us over the years. We bought her when my oldest was a baby, and though we’ve had a few major breakdowns and overhauls, my husband has been able to do most of her maintenance and repairs. Built in 1993, everything is still pretty simple – easier to fix than those new-fangled computer loaded vehicles.
However, as time goes on, and fuel prices keep going up, and our family gets bigger (only one empty seat left!), we’re looking for a more fuel efficient model; used of course. We’re thinking of a big van of some sort. If we lived in Utah, we might drop by Utah county auto dealers and take a peek at their pre-owned selection. As it is, I think we’re going to try to get our hand-me-down mini-van running if we can ever figure out what’s wrong! (It’s completely computerized, so hard to say without running it through a diagnostic machine.)
Either way, I’m thankful to God that we do have a pretty reliable vehicle. Thanks Mom and Shane for bringing us a part last time we had a breakdown!
