When I see trucks like that, I wonder how much money they throw away on vehicle maintenance and gas. Must be astronomical.

Nope. Gas maybe, but the old @fidodie GMC just turned 270,000 and is paying me! It got "totaled" a few months ago (87 year old "didn't see" me). $150 worth of parts and back on the road. ? There are so many of these on the road that aftermarket parts are dirt cheap.

P..S. Pat I owe you some more beer. ?IMG_20181220_065341768.jpg

Thought about fixing it nicer, but that would ruin the vibe right? At this point the only dollars spent are to keep it on the road. Sometimes takes a few more cranks to get it started, but once it does it runs like new.
