September 22, 2013. Canyon Lake, Texas. New Trucks.

Soon, Sarah turns 16, which means she will be able to drive.   David and Suzanne want her to drive a big vehicle, so they decided to have her drive David's old truck.  At first, David thought about a fancy sedan but decided to drive another truck, so yesterday, he bought himself a brand new 2013 Ford 150. It is not a King Ranch with all the bells and whistles, but it has all the necessary items on a truck, such as air conditioning and satellite radio including Blue tooth.   And it is white.  David is pleased with his new truck.

It does not have 4 wheel drive, so today when pulling his boat out of the water at the Marina he wondered if it would be a problem, but it pulled that boat like a champ.   I accompanied him to retrieve the boat and was interested to note that the truck smells new.   What is in new vehicles that is so distinctive with the smell.   Great smell.  It is the smell of money.

When our boys turned 16, we kept our old station wagon for them to drive.  It was big and it was white, and the kids at school called it The Moby Dickie.  Clever huh!!
