Turn Right at the Trailer Park


As stylish as Clint's turquoise Mustang convertible is, the vehicle cowers at the sight of Lowes. After Craigslisting for hours, we found a truck fitting all of our criteria. We drove 7 hours round trip to a dealership in Oregon. Google maps gave us our first warning about the deal. "Turn right at the trailer park" the instructions read. Big clue. The used lot was shared with a wrecking-ball-ready home, accompanied by a number of shady individuals. Clint opened the door to a pungent smoke and mold medley. A week later, a former contractor sold us a similar truck. We aren't persnickety. We overlooked rips in the seats for an reliable engine and a cab that's easy on the nose.
