I was going to junk the car anyway, so I decided to drive it until it stopped.
Three weeks later I drove the car to the junkyard. It never quit.

There is a campground near us that we spend many weekends a year camping (5th wheel camping not tents and such) they used to have an old green '72 Ford pickup that was beat to hell, they used it to pick up garbage. It burned oil so bad some people thought they were spraying for mosquitos with it. One weekend it just up and quit smoking. a couple of months later they realized it had ran out of oil.
They put in a few cans and it started smoking again and they ran for another 5 years before it finally gave out.
Too bad Ford gave up making trucks like that..
I LOVED my '57 Chevvy, but it was a "gift" from my father, and I had to give it up when I enlisted in '62. It was always titled to his construction company, and I left it became just another company car. It got "rode hard and put up wet", and was junked before I got out three years later.
I'll bet you wish you had kept it now.
