A few years ago I purchased a great 1989 Ford F150 Pickup. The Ford ran like a charm. Aside from some rust and a bumper that was a bit bent, it started up every time and never let me down. Unfortunately I had to sell the Truck to pay for gas for a trip out to Lake Placid two years ago. Less then 24 hours since decided to sell it I had $450 the Dodge (my parent’s car at the time) had a full tank of gas!

The Dodge has been through a lot. It started out as my grandfather’s car and although he didn’t drive it much, only to and from church, he did smoke in it and had some rather bad luck finding the ashtray. After my grandfather passed my little brother inherited the car at the age of 16. The Dodge has a history that even I am afraid to know all of the details about. Each dent and scratch has a story and I am now furthering the history of the Dodge by using it to help me reach my goals in skiing.
