I drove my truck for the first time tonight since August 23, 2013, the day I got married.

The last day I drove the truck, August 23, 2013.

Since 2013, it has not been moved or driven. Tonight, it is insured again and moving. Just a few minor safety items to work out....

It’s a little rustier, a little rougher and dirtier, but I still love it. This truck is so special to me.

Pics and stuff to come tomorrow! It’s very dark here.

That’s great!

Why did it get mothballed for so long?

I was given a car (used 2006 Mazda6) for my wedding, so that became the DD. Other than that, real estate, gas and insurance in Vancouver are pretty much the highest in North America for each category. So I can’t afford to drive it or insure it or to own a home to store it at.

My wife and I live in a small townhome where the Fiesta ST and CX-3 take up all the room.

Check ‘em, and hoses, and ball joints for cracks, and tie-rod ends ... holy shit I am such a worrier. And replace all the filters, and ... damn, I miss having a car.
