I Bought a Monster Truck… and Immediately Regretted It

This week on Honest Cars, I share the story of buying a monster truck project that seemed like an exciting idea at the time… but quickly turned into something very different. Like many car enthusiasts, the idea of owning a huge lifted truck sounded like a dream. But as the reality of running, maintaining and driving a monster truck starts to sink in, I begin to realise this purchase might not have been the smartest decision. In this episode we talk about: • Why I bought a monster truck • The reality of owning and running a lifted truck • The unexpected problems that come with it • Whether this project was actually worth it • Honest thoughts from inside the motor trade At Honest Cars, we give viewers a genuine behind-the-scenes look at life in the motor trade and the real experiences that come with buying, selling and owning unusual vehicles.
