My wife calls her Christine. Damn thing just won't die. IT has been run out of oil twice, overheated till it shut off once. Not a straight body panel on it. Nothing in the interior matches. NO door panel on the drivers door because we just haven't looked for one yet. But the little bassturd won't die.

Hell we don't even lock it and it doesn't take a key. No one would ever steal it. I have a feeling that when it dies it will be like the scene at the end of the Blues Brother when the old Dodge just disentigrates.



And I solved the nothing to drive problem. 1990 Chevy C1500 305 5 speed. Needs a bit of work, but will get me from point a to b for the next few weeks. Just a good simple truck.

Here are the in the dark potato cam pics of BettyBlue

Over all that looks like a good truck. Paint could use some attention but it's a good looking truck.

Lol I always enjoy your stories about the "redneck lift" and whatever you make up out of sticks and bubble gum :)

When you can barely afford to pay attention you have to make things up as you go along.
