Two year anniversary
October 2 marks my two year anniversary since first meeting my 67 rusting away behind a dealership in Roseville. October 2, 2004. I just realized it's been almost 2 whole years! Yup...
It's not really a big deal like I celebrate or anything but it kind of is for me. If you've ever seen the movie (or read the novel) Christine, then you know what I mean. It's more than just a truck sometimes. It was really hot today and the motor just kind of "gave up" while I was idling around in a parking lot. I got pissed and just kind of thought about what a nice Mustang with a V8 would be like. ![]() Then a friend of mine I went camping with sent me pictures that I had taken (as well as a few others involving a lack of clothing on my part ![]() I had taken scenic pictures of the truck on it's first outting in who knows how many years. It was a 2 hour drive, 80 percent of which was freeway. The old 250 did pretty dang good considering I haven't done much mroe than a tune up, a transmission swap, and had it cranking out 3500 RPM for such a long time. Heck, even the gas mileage was good. I'm still driving it on the same tank of gas! Anyway, I'm completely over the piss session I had. I mean, it's an old motor, and I shouldn't be so suprised that it was running crappy in this kind of heat we're having. And as a result of all this emotion ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()
