March 25th my parents surprised me with my first pickup and man was it a beauty, to me anyways. I was almost 14 but I have been driving since kindergarten and driving manual since I was nine years old. This is so significant to me because it was my first pickup and I fell in love with it. My pickup was a 1985 F150 four wheel drive and a manual. I love driving manual so much I hate automatic vehicles with a passion, but that’s just my opinion. Two days after I got my pickup I had got my permit. Since I had my permit I could only drive with someone eighteen or older so I always drove with my cousin Kennedy. Her and I always had a blast but that pickup was difficult to drive because it had open headers so when I had to shift I had to gas on it a little. It was so beautiful we painted it matte black and it had smoke stacks on it then my mom got the bright idea to put pink camo duct tapers and on the bumper so it looked even better.
I had fallen in love. We really wanted to paint it matte black and paint white ghost flames on it or …show more content…
I had wanted to put some more stickers on the back window so I tried to start it to put it in front of the house. Well it didn’t have a radio, so when I went to start it I had smelled something on fire and then smoke started rolling out of the where the radio should be. I ran inside crying and telling my mom to call the fire station and well I had came back outside and the whole front end was engulfed in flames. Thank God my neighbors had seen the fire because his cousin just happened to be in town and was a retired firefighter so they brought over extra hose and stuff to reach my pickup from the house. About 15 minutes later the fire department finally showed up and the fire was put out and everything and the insurance company considered it totalled. So we got one grand out of it and I already had $1800 saved to get it rewired well I had taken all that money to buy another
