truck until it was well passed its prime? The body
was probably peppered with dings and dents, and
the odometer had so many zeros on it that you got
dizzy every time you glanced down to check the
mileage. But you held onto it because you were
familiar with every creak and squeak the engine
made. Even though you knew it was the smart
thing to do, you had trouble moving on.        ]]></description>
