Bob Sportel was in his early 20s and needing a cheap ride to work, when he paid $75 for a rusty Chevrolet pickup truck. He never imagined he'd be driving it into his own retirement.
Sportel was in his early 20s and needing a cheap ride to work, when he paid $75 for a rusty Chevrolet pickup.
This week Sportel retired from his job at the Prinsburg Farmers Co-op, still driving to work in the same 58-year-old truck.
"It kept going so I just kept driving it," says Sportel, who had tried to negotiate the price down to $50 before paying the local farmer who owned the truck his asking price.
