Well, that's you and him.
Not trying to be nasty, but, there are just over 310,000,000 more Americans outside the holler. And, not very many of us are content to live so tight.
I have an old truck that I drive to work too. 1997 Dodge Dakota, 5.2 liter (318) two wheel drive. 211,000 miles. Over the last month I've replaced tie rods, ball joints, timing chain, water pump and thermostat. All new hoses. Going back a year, you can add the heater core, fuel pump, alternator, plugs, wires, coil, cap and rotor to that list. Plus I upgraded the brakes with new calipers, ceramic pads and slotted rotors.
Did all of the work myself but used all new, high quality parts. No remans. Trying to get 300,000 miles out of it.
She has dents, scratches, rust and the headliner has fallen, but she runs as strong as a team of Clydesdales.
