We recently said goodbye to our red pickup truck. Vehicles are machines, but they become part of our identity, and they come to represent chapters of our lives.
The truck was named after Bill Pullman's character's nickname in the 1996 Twister. Twister is one of our favorite movies to watch as a family, and we even drove this truck to the Twister museum in Wakita, Oklahoma.
I have wonderful memories of our truck.
We brought our dog Elza home in it.
We bought our dog Bandit home in it.
We brought home several gigantic dollhouses in it (Gatsby's mansion, the Addams Family estate and the Grand Union Hotel).
And I drove it through the Arizona desert on our way to the Grand Canyon, listening to A Horse with No Name by America.
Roadtrips galore, lots of Facebook Marketplace pick-ups, and plenty of rides for our dogs.
Cocoa especially loved riding in the truck.
