Hi, It has been a long time off for me to be on here. 2 year ago I went through open heart surgery with 4 bypasses and a valve repaired. Quite an experience. They told me I had had a heart attack, but I never knew it.
6 years ago my wife bought me a 1992 GMC (my initials) Sierra with 159,000 miles on it. I don't usually get an old Chevy until they have over 100,000 miles on them. The last 3 I ran to over 375,000+ miles each. I have been a mechanic for most of my life and am now 80 years old. This old GMC now has over 325,000 miles on and has been one of the best I have had. Illinois rust has just about killed it as far as the cab and box are concerned. The cab only has only one body mount left. I drove this truck without doing anything to the engine except change oil and filter. I hate to junk it, but I found another vehicle that I have been looking at for a while. It is a 2006 Chevy HHR with 229,265 miles on it. Bought it for $500.00 and have been doing front brakes, minor rust repairs etc. The interior is in very good condition. A young lady drove it mostly highway miles for the last 100,000.
We will see how this works out.
