    1. The radiator in my first truck had so many leaks that I put a five gallon bucket of water on the bench seat plumbed to feed the radiator. Had to refill every 25 miles or so.

  12. I read a book years ago about motoring in the wilder regions of the world. It was written by a guy who had run a mission motor pool in Africa for 20 years. The one thing that stuck with me was his recommendation that you remove the doors for when you fell into the river. As he put it, "Notice I said when and not if."

  15. They likely can't rear or write past the Grade Two Level, yet can keep that thing going with whatever they can find on the side of the road. Those guys can likely bypass the engine ECM on your new pickup and still make it run.
    People here can't install a fucking light if they pull it out of the package the wrong way.

    I ain't gonna laugh.
