Hmm, I’m between the brackets age-wise.
I try to justify everything I do to my vehicles with longevity first, efficiency second, and performance third.
Of course, I’m really good at justifying and half-azz decent at lying to myself.

I'm 71 going onto 18 according to my wife. Owned a brand new '82 C10, 6 cylinder with three on the tree as it used to be called. After railing about computers in cars and trucks I told the wife I wanted something with NO electronics in it, she agreed after seeing the price of parts for doing my own repairs. (Our Ford Ranger a classic example of spending $$$ on chips and proprietary heater hoses). One night we were on the way home and the in the front yard a a rural church close to home sat just what I was looking for. Sure, lots of rust but it had decent tires and a standard (granny-gear) trans and I brought it home. Sure, we've spent a few $$$ on it but it will run when I need it to run without going to buy more computer chips for it.

It's kind of a funny story i've certainly not told here, but it just so happens that when I was 24&25 years old I lived in one of two upstairs apartments ON Route 66 - next door to a road bar called.......nothing less than ......."Country Legends"
......it was next door to a freaking 24 hour DUNKIN DONUTS that was next door to a place called "Steve's Wholesale Tools" that was next door to "Jack's BBQ" 
that was next to a Mexican tire shop with the Valvoline oil change place I worked at on the corner half a mile away.TBH at that age I was only starting to raise hell but the conditions could not have been more favorable, I tell ya what.
I took total advantage.
A good chunk of my 4th step was born @ Country Legends over the course of that year and I wouldn't change it for nothin... I was still winning fights and believe me it's all fun and games until somebody gets hurt. I had my share of country music alright but that don't mean I gotta like it.
Sir.
I'm WAY TOO SOBER, now

30 and feeling like im 90
I was looking for some small truck, like an early 90's tacoma or something. People wanted way too much for them. I remembered the big old trucks from when I was growing up.
Started looking into the c10's and what not. Realized that they made suburbans too. So I got mine from an auction house and been loving it every since.
Gotta get me a K30 or c30 crew cab. Kinda doubtful it'll happen though.
