Farm Truck
May. 7th, 2015 01:34 amWe now have a farm truck. We weren't intending to buy a truck until next year, but life happened. :-)
My niece, the daughter of my sister Zoe who recently passed away, came to live with us. She has not been out on her own yet, so we are going to try and help her become independent. She is 25, but she has not ever had a driver's license. Naturally, this is the first order of business. Well, Marcel said a big NO to letting her practice in his BMW - - and it seemed silly to buy a car just to have her practice in. We really did need a truck (lots of work going on at the Bauernhof) - so we went about searching.
We started with the used car classifieds, but this made both of us uneasy. We didn't want to go to a dealership and get "played", so we pulled up the CarMax app - and we were able to find exactly what we needed. A single cab truck with an 8 foot bed, and a trailer hitch :-) It's big and has a big engine, but we will really only be using it for farm work (and teaching Jerrica how to drive). Heck, once she learns on this baby - she'll be able to drive pretty much anything :-)
