I'm all about finding good deals (but at the same time not afraid of buying new parts if the situation calls for it), and by far prefer the barter system over purchasing with cash. I'm just looking forward to driving a Kool, classic pickup.

It's such a cool feeling, that you get when u get her driving and running nice. I would be driving the 64 everyday if it wasn't for the throw-out bearing causing the clutch pedal to grab. Kinda hard to look cool when ur kangaroo-ing off the line at the lights. LOL

I know well what you mean. I get to enjoy that with my Camaro every time I fire it up. She runs so good and strong, it instills a certain sense of pride knowing that I am the only one who has ever worked on the car for the almost 11 years I've owned it. I would drive it daily, but there are a lot of security issues with the car and I have too much of a general distrust for the public (comes from my cars being broken into many times before). I can't wait to be behind the wheel of this pickup though.
