Will the SuperDuty actually make me happy? 🛻😃

That’s the question that remains on my mind, as keep studying the tactics to get a fair deal from dealerships, inventory levels, insurance quotes. It’s a big check, some paperwork, and it will be mine with no payment, just higher insurance bills and maybe bigger gas bill though that’s debatable compared to Big Red with his lift kit. And honestly, the cheapest way to avoid gas bills is to leave the SuperDuty parked, whether at home or at camp and ride my mountain bike. People are like don’t you know vehicles are about driving? I guess, but I never liked driving much, seems like such a hassle with cops and traffic.

Like anything, the best moments are not when you own or do the thing, but anticipation of the future. Happiness rarely comes when you are doing the actual thing or in the moment. The SuperDuty inevitably will break down, get smashed into by other vehicles, be expensive to operate, and a bitch to drive and park in the city. That is to be expected. It’s not like everything else in world. But also it will be many adventures seeing America while I’m still young and not so tied down by the homestead or even family. I talk about my trips to West Virginia or even the Adirondack wilderness, and those are often spoken with some jellously of those who have commitment that keep themselves closer to home. Michigan will be amazing this summer, as will the many nights spend hanging out on the tailgate of the new rig. And many other adventures in the years to come.
