I'm so ashamed...

My last visit was on 3/17/2009. I need another project. My 2009 Silverado never breaks down! (thank God!)

$25 cheap enough ? Gotta be a mis-print / mis-key ? Thought it was funny, but I haven't called. you might get it for $25 bucks! (kidding)

Now, this one?? If I had the money, it'd be in my driveway. And, it's down your way too.

Re: I'm so ashamed...

I wish I could say the same. My 72 Blazer never breaks down, but my 2001 Chevy van with 115,000 miles has caused all kinds of headaches. So far I've had to replace the distributor, O2 sensors, MAF sensor, ECU, front wheel bearings and seals, rear wheel bearings and seals (and brakes, since they were soaked with 90w), rear wheel cylinders, and high pressure regulator (it's bi-fuel CNG). The interior rattles, the door handles have come off or broken, the power locks stopped working, and now the radiator is leaking. I've also had one tire blow apart on me, causing body damage to the van (OK, that's not Chevy's fault, but still...)

I've spent more on repairs for the 2001 than I have for my Blazer, and that includes the engine I put in the Blazer when I bought it.

Anyway, enough of my rant. Good luck finding a fun project.

I know of a 67 or 68 longbed that looks pretty solid for $1800 .It looks all original including the paint which is real thin. Its also not mine but I would love to have it.

Now THAT is a bummer! This is the reason that so many Americans went Japanese or other foreign cars for many years. American Automakers simply lost their way, and frankly, they just weren't worth the trouble. But hopefully things are different now. Or, more like they used to be!!
