The Czickness LII.2…..the sunshine and roses version.

Morning folks.

My 2003 Yukon XL has 215,000 on it. No signs of stopping anytime soon. Tax time will get me a transmission rebuild so we can keep on trucking!

Wife’s 2007 Pontiac Vibe has something like 220k or so on it. Idk, it’s a Toyota, don’t check. Lol. She just got new tires. Didn’t solve the noise, but they needed replaced anyway. And I just bought some new wheel bearings and brakes for it.

I'm not sure Dave Ramsey would approve of you getting money back on taxes?

My 03 GMC Sonoma has 176,700 on it and has seen better days. I just drive it to the range on Mondays and occasionally to the store. I may have to cut lose a few firearms to get a decent used vehicle and sell the Sonoma cheap!

Good little trucks! I still have my 02 s10 with over 200k on it. Sits in the driveway these days as it’s hard to fit the family in… And it’s needing way more work than it’s worth… I’ve been telling myself I need to sell it and get a small utility trailer to pull behind the Yukon so the family can all fit and still haul junk.

Oh but he would! Beauty of having the child tax credit!

I do miss those days!

Mine will need a fuel pump soon, it will start easily if you let the pump build pressure 2-3 seconds before starting. The heater works but no heat when selected to the floor. AC compressor turns and will kick on but no cold air. Recharged and pressure is in the green, that's the extent of my AC knowledge! Has all new brakes on the front, needs shocks, and the rockers, cab corners in bad shape. I have just stopped putting any more $$$ into it and ready to get a different ride.

After these 2011 builds are completed, I begin saving for a car. Daughter will be getting my current car in less than 2 years.

My 2019 Tacoma just hit 54K, i'm staying pretty dilligent on the maintenance.

I have less than 35k on my 2018 CX-5. One of the side benefits of working from home.

I have 32k on my 2014 F150. One of the side benefits of not working.

I completely understand. About the only thing that works fantastic on mine is the heat. Everything else needs rebuilt.. runs and drives. Hauls scrap when I need it. But I will probably move forth with my utility trailer plan.

Treat em right, and drive em light .... and they'll last forever !
My 1998 Sonoma has about 67,000 on it.

Loved my 2000 and 2008 F150’s.

Totaled the 2000 on an icy bridge.

The frame rusted out from under the 2008.

I’ve put 155K miles on my company car in 4 years. I’m actually surprised it wasn’t more.

I spent some time at the loading bench this morning working up some 45 acp test loads. Cleaned up the load bench too. It was overdue.

My 2017 Lincoln SUV has 63k on it. Had 35 when I bought it in used 2020. My use has decreased since then am only putting maybe 6k a year on it.

Back from the dealer. Proud of my daughter, we were narrowing it down between 2 cars (same model, just different trim levels) and she actually selected the slightly more practical version vs the sportier trim. She actually would have easily gone for the model down from the one we were looking at but their inventory on that was next to nothing.

Even then when we got into the numbers, it wasn't working for what she had previously decided was where she wanted to be on out the door pricing and at her prompting we walked away. She definitely learned a good bit via the experience and I think is well equipped for when we look and get into the process again.

Loved the look on the salesman's face when the 23 year old girl said, “ I think we're done here.” I ripped the working paper in half and we walked.

Don't drive much at all after my second retirement and the gardener usually drives when we go anywhere. I sold the Dodge truck to a friend this year as it was just sitting in the garage. It was a 2000 and had been a good truck for a long time.

 

[wtburnette]

Got some errands done and some work around the house. Now sitting and sipping on my go to drink...

Got this in the mail with my snazzy new muck boots.

I guess it’s a shot glass and should be put to use immediately.

I'll wait for a stainless version. I wanna bobtail and other stuff, so the nickel finish would be a challenge for me.
