Some days ya just can't win.

I've got an old Chevy truck. I love my old chevy truck. I could by a new or newer truck but I don't like the new trucks.

Anywho, she's got 340,000 miles plus so something always needs fixing. Last winter I redid the whole top end, heads, cam, the works. At some point this spring the blower motor went out. Not a big deal, just parked it and drove one of the others until I have time to mess with it. It's really just a half hour job or so, and I finally got around to it this evening. While changing the motor I notice the resistor looks half melted so I change it. Then I discover that i only have 2 of 4 fan speeds. Track that back to the switch and change it. Three hours later I've finally got it all done only to discover that during the top end rebuild I must have kinked the high pressure ac line hard enough to crack the 20 year old rubber. So I still don't have air.

Arrrgh.

It’s time. Besides, you will love the techno creature features.

Tell me again how I'm feeling; it's so much easier than actually figuring it out for myself.

My very first car was an old green Chevy and it was constantly needing something but it absolutely refused to die. I loved that car; good thing I had friends who were mechanics. Chevys are tough old vehicles.

Chin up. There's a lot to be said for someone who can work on their own stuff. I have an old ford pickup that I wouldn't trade for anything new. Jeeps too. Anything you can work on and keep pristine without too much electrical nonsense will be a keeper within the next 10 years.
