My buddy finally heeded my advice and paid for a transmission on his Ranger.
My mechanic was very impressed how he squeezed every last mile out of that... over 260,000 to be more accurate. He said the inside was pretty fucked up. He found a tranny for the Ferd 3.0 that had 68,000 miles... My friend is the luckiest prick on the planet.
So during his retreival of his now smoothly a shifting Ranger, I decided to leave my (increasingly expensive but awesome) wagon behind for some work that I was completely unwilling to do myself right now.
Dry runs to the junkyard for obscure parts was increasingly demotivating, my last option would be to turn the other Tercel into a donor car. But unfortunately (!!!), my pickup is having fuel and carb issues and can barely drive at all. So my other $300 Tercel is now the only most reliable car I have!
You can call it ironic. I call it another long weekend of tinkering with the truck, with I actually enjoy. Beers and my brother-in-law (car-whisperer) will be involved.

Sorry man. I blame that cold snap we had.
How did you get the door on the truck to unlock?

Oh I still can't open it :D
It's been a fun last year with our cars.

I'm not worried. Considering the worst thing going on in my life are some old cars, I'd say I'm a very lucky man.

Yes. It could be worse. We could be in the midwest in sub freezing temps and a football team that has been out since week 8.

Yeah fuck that noise. I'm never leaving the PNW. If the Hawks never win another game, at least I'll still here in wonderful WA
