About “Smitty”

This is my first car! I bought it for $1500 when I was 15 from my school librarians brother in-law. lol. I was so exited. I named it Smitty because it reminds me of my great-grandpa who passed away several years ago. His name was Smith but his friends called him Smitty so that's what I named my truck. I'm planning on keeping it forever & I already have lots of plans for it.
