I really enjoy the perspectives offered in these threads.
Like others, I am over the repairing/maintaining car efforts. I simply lost that lovin' feelin...I threw out a few spiral binders of maintenance and repair logs on cars I haven't owned in 20 plus years. I was looking for my farm equipment logs since my son is home for a week and it is barn'o'rama on routine equipment maintenance.
I work on the farm equipment because the closest dealer in 20 miles away and they are horribly expensive. That and, unless I am replacing mower blades, open air work
Car-wise, my Tundra is nine years old and in perfect shape...it will be my last 1/2 ton. I bought the LC from a friend because I had put nearly 20k miles a year on the Tundra and wanted to DD miles in something else. So far so good!
