A couple of years ago I made a wish.

I wished that in the event my brother ever decided to part with
a pickup he owned at that time, he would give me first dibs.

Shortly after making that wish, it came true and big brother
sold that pickup to me after a deer killed my van.

He drove that pickup for well over 10 years
and it never gave him a moment's trouble.

Not so for me.

That pickup is quickly becoming a money pit on wheels
much like my van had been before it.

In the future I'm gonna be much more careful about
vehicles I wish for, for I just might get them. smiley: eek
