This Popular Italian Restaurant in Addison has lost my business for good—no more Chances.

I've had it up to here with my Toyota. (Now close your eyes and imagine a lanky mid-thirties man with his hand held somewhere near the ceiling). Our family finally outgrew the Tacoma we bought in 2020, a vehicle I swore to keep until the engine failed or until the sun exploded. Whichever came first. I bought the truck off the showroom floor—at a small discount and 0% APR—right when COVID uncertainty hit full swing.
