I think my pickup is mad at me!

I put over $3000 into that big block of its then I leave it sit and only put about 1500 miles on it since January 2001 and I get it out to go to the dirt track races to drive in style right. Well I baby it about 10 miles then I hear the radio go in then out. Shoot the stinking wires are shorting. I think the mice got to it even though I had it moth balled. No problem I think. Little bit later I smell burning. Crap fusible link. Well I get it to keep from shorting drive another 5 miles radio goes out. Ok I can deal with that. No radio I can still ride in style right! Wrong. I get another 5 miles and hear a bang. Crap,I think, that better not be a rod. Well I smell the smoke when I am stopping and it smells like tranny fluid. When I get stopped I look under the hood and discover that the retard that did my tranny had put the cooler on the back side of the radiator and it had came loose hit my fan blade and smashed into my radiator. Well I guess she'll be down for a week or so. Had to tow it back 20 miles and didn't go to the races. Sorry so long but had to tell.
