Yeah,back when I was 20's and 30's I was indestructible. Partied hard, played softball, co-ed volleyball, water skied , everything balls out. now I'm wishin my balls weren't out!!! Gone thru torn Achilles , rotator cuff, torn retinas and a detached retina. Now lower back pain that won't quit. But , still work on my stuff, my kids' stuff and my grandkids stuff, just takes a little more whiskey and Tylenol!!! Just tell myself "you did it to yourself, suck it up buttercup". Lookin for a while longer but I DON'T want to live forever!

I sold a vehicle with just refreshed trans before. But I am sure everyone that looked at it was coming with not believing that it was.

I only believe it if the seller has documentation proving it and my eye test coincides with it, as well. What makes me laugh even more is when someone says "brand new crate engine installed with just 50k miles on it" :roflbow:
