I have been reminded of several things recently:
1.) Quit whining and count my blessings… a life path I have often advocated in my writings.
B.) There are many folks out there that have sympathy. They know how attached a man gets to a truck and how miserable he is when it’s not running. I even got a generous donation to PayPal. That was a huge pick me up. Thanks!
c.) It’s a Dodge. It’s a fucking miracle it ever runs at all.
IV.) I should have a Gatlin Gun in the back at all times.
Just for fun, I’m linking to a story from the last time the beast gave me a heart attack and burned my savings. Here’s the interesting part. Is my truck awesome because it hasn’t had any serious maintenance issues for seven years? Or… Is my truck a complete shitshow because this is the second time it blew out catastrophically for no reason and with no warning to the tune of many thousands of dollars? Can both be true at once? What’s the over/under for repairing an ’08 with 190K on the clock? If you’d asked me on Friday I’d have said she had a good 200K left in her. If you’d asked me on Saturday I’d be sitting in a tow truck cab fuming.
You place your bets and you takes your chances!
