    Can't complain to much. I have made a life out of that. Only a handful of years with my own used junk. But when you buy a 13k truck with a broken trans, what do you expect? Been working on this one 8 years now. Still not anything special. I might be slightly mentally handicap. Not sure.

    Wish I could agree. 25 years ago id be a idiot. Still might be. No one ran trucks that long. Now it's popular.

    Yep, and like your deal. It sucks, but your ok. When its part of you, you would not let a small setback stop you. You put it back together and ride again. Till it kills you. But as they say, get back on the horse. Its a lifestyle, not a job. Have to be alittle crazy.

    You are right . that is what everybody that i work with told me. Just get back on that horse , the worse thing you could do is throw in the towel. The boss man even let me borrow his truck to keep me making money . im glad I'm with a great company that has my back for once. Makes all the difference in the world. But you are right . this job gets in your blood and its hard to do anything else

    8-900k was "an old truck" and usually shipped off to auction for $10k or less.
