Several miles south of here on a country road is a small manufacturing facility. I can't remember what they are called or what they make. Usually when I drive that way I see a truck parked alongside the driveway. Always the same one. I am not a truck person and I have never owned a truck of any kind, but that truck is a beauty. Don't ask me what make or model, but it has far more character than your usual anonymous large commecial vehicle. It is a really neat truck. It is kept spotless in its dark chocolate brown livery with gold lettering on the side. I assume they park it there because they are proud of the vehicle, and maybe for advertising, the site is quite large and it could have been parked anywhere. Whenever I pass by and it is not there, there is always a small pang of regret.

You are given a opportunity to go on a date with a hot girl in exchange for lending out your car for a night. You realize your car is worth more than the date, who only likes you for your car anyway, and you opt out of the transaction by not agreeing to comply with the opportunity in the formentioned exchange.
