Rubiginous

rubiginous: rusty-colored

Doesn't this picture just look so cool? Apparently, it's the side of an old truck that has been left outside for about 20 years. I think it has a certain beauty lying beneath the outer shell of disrepair. Especially the orangey-red of the rust. It contrasts with the little splotches of blue (left over from the paint?).

And now, to the prompt (btw, there won't always be a prompt, I just enjoy putting them up). Today, it's going to be more of a personification prompt. What did this truck feel like as a new, lovely car? Was it a present, or maybe bought for work? Did its new owner feel proud, or was it just for the operation of a farm, instead of a new "toy?" How old is this truck, what has it seen in its years?
