Love this article! As a car guy, I am fascinated by your experience with the truck. I’ve always analyzed people‘s choices of vehicles as I believe they are basically avatars of themselves. And, I can totally relate to the persona change you felt — I get that when I drive my old truck. Though I’ve never tried dressing the part of “truck guy,” I might just give that a shot and see if my paradigm shifts.
So funny Mark. Makes me reflect on the relationships I’ve had over the years with my pick up trucks. Sparky, the Rivian, is in a class of their own. (Fun fact- Sparky is gender nonbinary- They/Them)
Pamela, I so agree about the embarrassing part of getting in. I drive a *slightly* lifted jeep now--a compromise between the truck and the Prius--and my wife swears out loud nearly every time she tries to pull her self up and in it.
I love this honest story. Made me laugh out loud, especially the “y’all.”
LOL — loved this!!
Vern Duncan was the first person to tell me that "Showing up is 90% of the job."
Definitely quite funny! It shows You can't jugde a bk by its cover!
Thanks for making me laugh. I owe you. 🙃 💜

Thanks Tom! And great point about vehicles as avatars. Some cars say everything about us without a bumper sticker.
A real out of body work
experience. Loved it!
That's the worst dad joke I've heard this week. And a keeper. Thanks!
Of course, many dudes I see in those trucks can barely get out of a Walmart parking lot when there isn’t a snowstorm. So I think you’re ok.

My son owns a big truck. It’s embarrassing trying to get in. But, It does feel really cool to ride in that big tall truck. Thanks for a good story.
