Wasn't really looking for a lecture buddy. A 66 is a hell of a lot more worth it than an 87. And when you make around $100 a week, it's hard to afford insurance and gas, let alone rebuild a motor.

Maybe I was whining a bit, that's what happens when you're down. There's a lot more wrong with it than just a door and the alternator, those were just recent incidences.

I like to think of my self as a realist. 5 gs into your truck and I bet it still doesn't look factory. 5gs into my van and it would just run a little bit smoother, and still look like crap. Going to be starting college here in the fall and I know I won't be able to afford nickel and dime for the next couple years.

It was a hasty post, and probably a little inappropriate. Guess I was just looking for moral support, which I got from some of the other guys. You just as easily used the story of your truck to encourage me, not put me down.
