Goodbye Truck.

I loved my truck so much, but now it is time to say goodbye to it after its brakelines have been rusted through. It's a fixable job but it's just too unsafe to drive it the way it is right now. Also, it's rusting pretty bad underneath and already made a hole through one of the important bars underneath :( It was the very first vehicle I went out and bought on my own last year <3 I know it's old but it was actually an amazing truck as it lasted through three accidents and hardly took any damage!!! IT'S A BEAST! I even passed my G road test in this truck on my first try (in Canada, the G test is the last test/license to get in order to drive on all roads, and it's really difficult to pass it!)!!!!!

I loved it for its nostalgic quality. Everything in it was so OLDSCHOOL, and I love it because modern cars don't have these qualities anymore. For instance, the way of locking it was the way people would legitimately lock their car doors in the 1980s. The steering was not powersteering,,,meaning you need some muscles to park and whatnot. The gauges inside were so old looking but awesome at the same time. It was like I was living the life of an 80s person in present day hahaha. I started driving this temporary Honda I have and it's so advanced compared to my truck. It was so hard to get used to! Steering was the biggest thing I had to get used to, because in the Honda it feels like I'm driving in an arcade driving videogame!

I am selling my truck and hopefully its next owner will be able to appreciate it the way I did, and perhaps be able to restore it. It could probably last another year, but I just don't have the funds to keep it up anymore. I am so sad about this :(


GOOD BYE 1987 MAZDA TRUCK, I WILL MISS YOU!! <3

  1. Your truck looks so cute, I can totally understand why you would not want to let it go.

    I love all my things, old and new, and would never want to replace them. :)

  3. lol I embrace the black spray paint job bud, it's what makes it oldschool. Also, these trucks are heard to run well into 500kms...and I did buy it for $600 at 290kms and it still ran like a beast! :) Not only that, I bought my recent car at 145 kms, but it doesn't mean it's a piece of shit either. It's a Mazda MX-3 and I'm sure it could kick your car's rear in :)

    Pretty sure I know who you are too, since you decided to post on a post that has to do with a vehicle that I wrote about MONTHS ago. You really have a life...NOT. :)
