Arnold Kidla loves his 2018 Chevy Duramax Silverado. “This is officially the longest that I’ve owned a truck,” says Arnold Kidla emphatically, “and I don’t think that I’m going to get rid of it for a very long time.

He and his wife are fully enjoying their retirement, but Arnold talks fondly about his tattoo shop. “I was a tattoo artist for 20 years. The best part of it was meeting people and finding out why they’re getting the tattoo, what’s the meaning behind it, and why they got their other ones. It was the best 20 years of my life.” Arnold went on to say, “I hated doing names on people and tried to talk them out of it, but sadly some people were really convinced things were going to last forever.” He went on to say, “I was fe
