In other words, it ain’t no chèvie.

A few years ago I saw an old dude in a nice, original 66 Chevy PU. In Ontario Ca.

Owning one is on my bucket list.

Drove over and talked to him.
He had bought it new.
50 years prior !
Wouldn’t sell it.

Hmmm ! Fortunately, I replaced my engine with a Coast Guard approved one.

Seriously, I think having a trusted dealer, like BillG has in Milwaukee, is all the difference. He has a good contact in service and they what he needs, only what he needs, at a fair price. Others (of us) take it up the arse from the other dealers

After reading that transit list, I probably shouldn't have taken myself out of service because my drivebelt fell off (45 min in the dark, at the side of the road, in a snowstorm lying in an icy salty puddle while saltwater dripped in my eyes and the big rigs coated my body with fresh slush)

Man I was furious. Now dry and warm, sending "this is my last delivery until further notice" to Dispatch seems kinda silly

You love it! . First it was replace everything you could on the Sprinter, then it was full steam ahead on Crypto Currency, now back to crawling under the Sprinter. The lengths you'll go to to not haul freight.
