Still love the truck though!

To be fair on that last part, I've owned some actual dogshit vehicles that I loved to death. Hell, I've still got my old 1991 Mazda B2200 pickup that I take for a drive ocasionally kind of like taking a geriatric dog for a walk. The carb hasn't worked quite right since I had to rebuild it and the whole truck sits at an angle after I overloaded the bed a few too many times. Ocasionally it'll start spontaniously flooding out and I'll have to pull over and quickly pull a vac line off the carb and plug it to keep it running but when I do that is starts pinging like hell so I've gotta fuck with the ignition timing so I just keep the nutdriver for that strapped under the hood. It leaks oil, it rides rough, and the headlights might as well run on D cell batteries.

But it's a good truck. It's loyal and we care about each other. Whenever my main vehicle breaks down it is always there for me. Whenever I need it, it always runs even if it doesn't do so well or happily. It always starts on the first try even when it's -20F outside and it has never left me stranded. That truck has been rode hard and put up wet for over 3 decades but it refuses to give up. It is a member of the family and at this point I am determined to keep it going no matter what happens to it in the future. I owe it that much.

Now, at the same time, despite it being over 3 decades old, it is still more reliable than a cybertruck fash barge. My truck has earned it's love and respect. I have no idea how anyone could love Teslas roll off dumpsters.
