Put all the make power parts on it and the go anywhere parts on it I could find, including the TRD super charger and headers, and with all Amsoil fluids, constant detailing and excessive maintenance, I’m sure it would have lasted forever.
Sadly, that glorious machine was taken from me. At the light near the house.
“The light was green.” That’s what the witness told the cops. I was the first vehicle at the light. Was.
The woman in the other car saw a yellow light or a yellowish red light and went for it. Had it up to ramming speed when she hit me.
Poor truck was killed instantly. Me? I woke up some time later in a cold, bright room on a very cold steel table, wearing only my underwear and having no idea where I was or why I was as I was.
Not since those keggers back in high school have I woke up anywhere close to like that, but this time, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t explain any of it to myself. So, I asked for a blanket. What a strange day.
I let them keep me overnight. The world was very, very surreal for a long time after that one. I don’t recommend head trauma. Had some experience with it and I don’t want anymore, but the surreal world part was kinda cool while it lasted.
Poor truck was killed instantly.
MURDERED!!!
After spending time with a quality vehicle, you can become attached. And learn how to keep them happy and healthy.
When working them they will tell you if they make up that hill in second. Or better to drop back to first.
I drove an older Ford 3/4t with a big block and a million miles. Minus 20 and it would start A-OK (Mobil 1) if it got scratched loading up at Home Depot, who would notice?
BUT! But never go over 65 MPH cause it gets hot FAST!!!
It belonged to the company I worked for, one day the owner’s nephew was moving and borrowed it. Yes, he was famous for smoking the tires doing donuts in the parking lot. His Suburu rice rocket, who cares?
I told him DO NOT DRIVE IT HARD AND WATCH THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE... He killed it.
They bought me a new Chevy something the other, nothing special.
