The affection one has to a vehicle is often a love/hate relationship. Cruising around the back roads of town, it’s fun to crank the music and perform that one-person karaoke to the reflection in the mirror, then quickly pull it together when there’s an approaching motorist.

As I stand on the doorstop to my 40s, I find myself finding more in common with my truck everyday. It seems that lately, especially now that things are cooling off outside, things don’t start as easy as they used to, and things are starting to make noise that shouldn’t. To make matters worse, whatever is causing those noises won’t likely be cheap to fix.
