So here is the story. After 25 years, yes twenty freakin five, i actually got the thought in my brain to sell my truck. I came home from work tonight after cashing my paycheck and was so aggravated and depressed about my financial situation that the thought briefely crossed my mind. Then after a few cold beers and literally punching myself in the face i snapped out of it. After a history a quarter of a century long i could never part with it. Ive invested way too much money, busted knuckles, years, tears and beers. I bet i have spent 20 grand on the hard to find NOS or nickle and dime parts or to people that overcharge on ebay for things that are just so obscure. The late nights saying profane words. The days freezing my bag a$$ off in the driveway with snow coming down and the truck running with the heat on high to just so i coukd bear laying under the dash to finish wiring that one thing i neglected, the days of beating my head against the wall and nights spent reading a factory service manual cover to cover or internet searching or reading these damn forums. That thought made me rethink tonight. Maybe it is the beer talking but there is no way in hell after all that aggravation and history i would ever allow myself to do that. I smack myself once again for allowing my brain the chance to even consider. The truck stays, and i will be driven to my grave in the bed of it someday. Just a thought i felt like posting tonight. Thanks for reading my 8 beer deep rant. To my Gladiator, i shall toast you another.
I think we all feel this way at times unfortunately. They can be frustrating vehicles, especially with the lack of support to rebuild/restore them. I was temporarily in major depression when i found my steering box bracket broken at the frame, which along with budweiser, provoked last nights post. Walking away and regrouping my brain for a while helped. Its just metal. Metal can be repaired, replaced, and improved.
