Aaron's comment the other day struck me:
OBS: obsession
OBS: obsession
- the state of being obsessed with something.
"he cared for OBS with a devotion bordering on obsession"- an idea or thought that continually preoccupies or intrudes on a person's mind.
plural noun: obsessions
"he was in the grip of an obsession he was powerless to resist"
- an idea or thought that continually preoccupies or intrudes on a person's mind.
Guilty as charged sadly...or not sadly...lol
It is what it is at this point. I'm just really needing my truck back but no end in sight.

I'm number 15 on the list, and don't post in this thread that much anymore.

Number 6!? I thought I was doing better coping with my OBSession....
Had a couple young bucks (friends of my baby sister) riding in the truck with me last night for a couple hours as we moved a piano for said sister. One of them a loudmouthed bow tie guy, talking smack the whole time. "Wow, it doesn't make much boost does it?!" "My 6.6 [Duramax] will walk away from it". I just smiled and nodded. We get almost home and the other guy, a nice quiet young man, says, I don't know I just really like these old trucks. There's something about these old body style trucks that just does it for me. I think I'll see if he's single and hook him up with my baby sister.
I did burn the other guy pretty bad about LS swapping the world, though. I said something about everybody wanting to LS swap everything and he says "Well, that depends which LS we're talking about...if we're talking about the 6.2, I might take you to task there. It depends which LS you're talking about." I just smiled and said, "No, no it doesn't..." Everybody (but him) laughed. Just kids, and it was all in good fun.
I like my old work truck. Let those young bucks have their fun. I know what I'm about...
Wait, what!? SD? No more Whitey?! I clearly haven't been paying attention...

Yeah, two things...
1) WAY overpriced
2) my jadedness with low mileage engines is obvious. I think the less they are worked and let to be still, the worse it is for them. JMO. The Superduty I just bought runs like it is brand new but has 250k miles. It's quiet, smooth, and powerful...but it's been worked!
