Isn't this Pathetic

that we spend friday night on this forum with me asking how to fix my truck and you guy trying to help me out. Where you and I should be running around go to parties, bar, visiting friends, chasing skirts if you don't have one already that is

that there is a collection of folks to share what works and what
doesn't, it's sad that we need to.

i've got about 1k on since the rebuild, and everything looks pretty good,
and i've been putting together a strategy of what to do that will give
this thing the best chance of living a long and tow free life.

i'll put it up on a separate thread for peer review...

so, for good or bad, we are all in the same boat, and trying
to help each other figure out how to get the boat to the far
shore.

the one good thing about the $10k hit my van did, was that it's
a work van, and that repair bill is fully tax deductible.

so, let's see.... 10k less the 25% fed and state i'd a paid on
the money, so i'm really down $7,500.....

at this time, i'd like to thank all you taxpayers for your unselfish
contribution to my van repair fund.

instead of an automaker bailout, it's an automaker customer bailout.

thanks again.
