Angry The problems never end.....

Today was supposed to be THE day. Bought some mags and tires and put them on. Found one side of rim rubbing against spindle. Grinded spindle down problem solved. Now have to go through Aircare (vehicle emissions testing, $24 test fee). Waiting in line and truck overheats ( damn not properly closed cap). Go back to Aircare and wait. Go through aircare and FAIL...big time. Go find a mechanic who knows how to deal with a carb. Go to mechanic and he adjusts my carb to the smallest jets he had (FREE). He said to try Aircare again because he thought they had it set close enough to pass. Go through Aircare again (another $24 paid) and fail again (just barely this time). GO back to mechanic and he says they'll fix it on Monday. Insurance permit runs out on Sunday so decide to leave truck there. He says it's probably overheating because I have no fan shroud. Gotta hit the junkyard for electric fans. At least I got a ride home from the mechanics son. What pisses me of the most though, I have to pay the AIRCARE fee AGAIN!!!!!! 3 x $24.....GRRRR.....at least everyone says my truck rocks...

Almost forgot....Plus I ran out of gas...Just managed to literally roll into gas station... This truck just makes me laugh now
