Its funny, I drive an 84 Dodge pickup. Paid about $4000 7 years ago. Put a
new engine in it last year for about $1000. Never left me anywhere, always
got me home. Wish I could say the same for the newer cars my wife has
owned.

I am always amazed at the prices of "Recreational" items. Oh well, it just
makes me even happier when I manage to build/rebuild or invent my own. I
have a 1972 fishing boat salvaged from certain death on my friends farm
and
drive a 20 year old car that gets me back and forth to work (500 miles a
week) just as well as a $40,000 new one. Some might say that I am cheap -
I
prefer prudent. Cheap is when you use duct tape because the elastic in
your
underwear gave out 2 years ago. ;
