My Truck Sucks... And I'm Keeping It.

It has been a couple weeks since I received my truck at my new company, and the list of issues is long. First off, the truck is a 2013 Freightliner Cascadia with over 400k miles. The cancel button on the cruise does not work. When you get out of the truck, you add air to the seat so you have to readjust every time. The Tachometer fell off, I super glued it as best I could, but there are dark shadows between 1k-15k that make it hard to see with sunglasses. And best of all, The carpet freshener has worn off and it has a strong urine and feces smell.

So, I'm keeping the truck. Why you ask? The darn thing is a good runner. The engine is solid and so is the clutch ****il I get through with it). I'm out here to make a paycheck and support my family. So far this truck will do that. I'll deal with the annoyances, and work on easing the bathroom odors, but until I get enough miles on this thing where they turn it in, I will keep rolling in this bathroom on wheels.

Parentheses, then the word until triggers the naughty word detector I found out.
