Picking a favorite item was not easy, however, if I had to choose it would be my truck.
I chose this not just because of the obvious freedoms that having a car entails but because my father and I worked tirelessly on it for months. Ripping apart rusting metal, welding, and busting our knuckles loosening a few tight screws are just some of the many tasks we had to perform before this truck was a safe running machine again. Building this truck together made many memories that I won't forget.
The best part about building this truck with my dad is now I don't have any car payments! We only put $1000 into it to get it running and able to pass inspection.
I'm glad that my dad didn't just buy me a car and hand it over to me like most kids. I wouldn't appreciate it as much and I wouldn't have had all those great times sweating like a pig in the garage with my dad.

"Ripping apart rusting metal, welding, and busting our knuckles loosening a few tight screws are just some of the many tasks we had to perform"--nice sentence. In fact, this is where I'd start the graf--I'd skip all the preliminaries about dealing with the assignment.
