RV Blog--Life in a Box. This just ain't 'camping' any more.... Sunday, March 06, 2005: When last I posted, we had just put $130 into an exhaust system on the old 'gun boat'..... 4 days later, the transmission shot craps. We bought that relic to last a year--and she did. Thank goodness we hadn't bought the tires!!!! So, yesterday we went 'car shopping'. When you only have a huge, yellow, 2ton RV hauler to get around in, and diesel prices are sky high, a car is not a luxury! Gotta find one! The guy who sold us the wagon last year reluctantly said we could bring it down and park it out behind his garage--he knows a salvage guy. Meanwhile, he's headed for the auction this week and will see what he can find for us.... Nothing much on the Buy Here/Pay Here lots except overpriced junk! Keith has the hots for a red 1991 Ford Ranger, plain Jane, with 80K miles on it. NOT GONNA HAPPEN. It's cute--but there's no room for anything but 2 people! He'd have to buy a bed cap just to have room to keep their hardhats! And it's waaaaaay beyond the throwaway price I had in mind. Heck, we got a year out of the gunboat--paid $550 for it, plus the new exhaust, over a year ago. Now THAT was a throw away car..... :) Gus and Minnie are driving down from wherever it is they're camped for the winter. It'll be nice to see them, since we haven't laid eyes on them in about 3 years! Dinah // Sunday, March 06, 2005 ______________________ Comments: Post a Comment
