I think I did the right thing by replacing the engine instead of buying a new van.

You are so selfish. How do you expect the economy of this country to pick up if people like you refurbish used junk? Think of the lost state and federal taxes. Think of the lost jobs at parts suppliers, auto plants and dealerships. Think of the lost interest income to banks. Think of the expediters.

But, But, But, I did help the Auto Recycler, a couple of mechanics and the NAPA store when I installed all the new parts on the front of the engine!! I just can't win with you EO guys! LOL

Why use an ATM when you can get cash back at Walmart? Instead of $4.00 at a Pilot, Walmart charges 68¢; you also get a candy bar

Cool! Some local painting company bought mine. Apparently it's replacing a POS! His painter acted like he was jumping into a nice Caddy. The a/c froze him out in only a few minutes.

No. I'm off the road now. We have 4 rolling and looking to add another 3-4 or so. That equals a lot of quoting, bidding, updating, calling, invoicing, etc.
The van had plenty of life left in it but selling it saves about $300 a month in insurance. And we have another van here for our few courier customers.
