I had planned to keep this truck until I’m too old to drive. However, ometimes life’s priorities get changed; and your hobby truck has to go. I have owned this truck for 11 years; and have thoroughly enjoyed it. And now General Maximus Hercules deserves someone with more time than I have to take care of him.
