Pop's pickup truck started on the first try Wednesday morning, for the first time since at least the spring.
The truck, a 1994 model in a colour Pop calls “red, originally,” has 412,000 kilometres on it and a passenger door that opens only from the outside. It usually needs four or five tries and “a talk.”
“I didn't even say anything to it,” Pop said. He has not driven it since, out of concern that he will “use it up.”
A mechanic consulted by Pop News Weekly (Pop's friend from crib) said the truck should not, technically, still be running.
