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.
Mine was a ‘72 F250 with a 390 4 barrel ... green, fun to drive and pretty much indestructible, well, other than the grill.
And I didn’t do that. The company owner’s cousin did it, which is why I didn’t let him drive it any more, but you didn’t hear that from me.
