I learned to drive in a 61 Rambler. 4 door sedan with dinky little fins. Same setup, push button starter, 3.8L straight 6.

Dad bought it new and I bought it from Dad for what the Buick dealer...

I got the pressure washer and the step ladder out to wash the Jeep this afternoon.

It is a lost cause! 20 year old Chrysler Navy blue paint oxidized and turning white. No hope for it.

I hit...

I thought it was reasonable too.

That included everything from the spliter block at the rear out to the lug nuts. New lines, new drums, cylinders, shoes, springs, cables and levers.

The Jeep is home.

The 10 year old vehicle has half the miles and...

The insurance thing really rips me a new one.

Being retired I do not drive as much as I did when working and I was easy on the miles even then.

I average 5K miles a year, not a month but a...

Guy came and put the Jeep on the big truck and took it away.

I explained that I thought it was just a leak.

He asked how I knew?

I told him I had done new calipers, new pads and new lines...

The Cherokee went down a few months back and I have not been inclined to get it fixed, mostly due to stubbornness and a need to come to the realization that I can no longer fix what I used to fix due...
