Chapter 102 - 102. arrival and upgrades (1/2)

”He's in a wheelchair now,” Charlie continued when was internally thinking ”so he can't drive anymore, and he offered to sell me his truck cheap.”

”What year is it?” I could see from his change of expression that this was the question he was hoping I wouldn't ask.

”Well, Billy's done a lot of work on the engine - it's only a few yearsold, really.”

I hoped he didn't think so little of me as to believe I would give up that easily. ”When did he buy it?”

”He bought it in 1984, I think.”

”Did he buy it new?”

”Well, no. I think it was new in the early sixties - or late fifties atthe earliest,” he admitted sheepishly.

”Ch - Dad, I don't really know anything about cars. I wouldn't be able to fix it if anything went wrong, and I couldn't afford a mechanic...” this was half a lie I really couldn't fix it honestly I have zero mechanic skills but I could afford a mechanic I'm still a small millionaire I also plan to rob fort Knox in the world I have plans for the gold I'm going to turn all of it into a giant golden ball over 8000 tons of gold and when I'm upset I'll throw it at things. I'm thinking of naming it ”PROBLEM SOLVER” who said you couldn't throw money at problems to make it go away?

”Really, the thing runs great. They don't build them like that anymore.”

The thing, I thought to myself... it had possibilities - as a nickname, at the very least.

”How cheap is cheap?” After all, that was the part I couldn't compromise on.
