VW Eurovan longevity question

[drater]

My first car was a '71 VW Thing. Left carb caught on fire 5 days after I bought it from a mechanic. He told me to get stuffed when I had it towed back to him.

 

 

His rapid onset of mulitiple malignant cancers opened my eyes to the possibility of instant karma gratification.

Remind me not to get on your bad side.

I have an 81 International Truck with a 30,000lbs GVW. It's a gas engine and it has a knuckleboom mounted on the back with a dumping bed.

 

You could load a small shack into the bed for camping, or you could load a scout vehicle. The downside is you need a CDL to drive it; but think how impressive you'll be.

 

Maybe I'll put a picture of it in the yard sale forum.

WAY too late for that one, chica!

 

 

 

 

Turns out it wasn't just naive 17 year olds that said mechanic was ripping off, the funeral was not widely attended.

 

His son always had the sweet line on hash tho.

I bet all that mechanical brawn would impress Arch, for sure.

 

I'd name him "Boomer."

I had a Valiant. They last so long because they've only got 4 moving parts.

 

I named mine 'Shitheap'.

i called mine "jack ass" he was a wonderful fist car

 

I just used mine to drive around in.

 

i don't know that i fucked the car but it certainly saw some action
