For the first time in about a month. After I aired up the flat tire and jumped the poor thing.

Since my dad’s sudden passing, his Silverado has mostly just sat since my mom, brother, and I don’t particularly like driving it for a variety of reasons. So it tends to sit for a couple weeks or more at a time. Typically I’m the one who gets it going and goes and takes it around the block.

Once you get it going it still runs like a top after a looooong high idle, 5.3 purring like a kitten through the obnoxiously loud Magnaflow exhaust. Though it keeps wanting to die on decel to stops so I need to look into that.

I eventually need to make up a craigslist ad to sell the big dumb thing but I can’t quite bring myself to do it yet.

Shit, I’m sorry for your loss. Any way you can hold onto it or does anyone in your family/friend group need it?

One of my coworkers is interested so I’d still get to see it from time to time if they do. Otherwise it has to he sold to pay for his funeral since he didn’t have life insurance.

Gotcha. Maybe a nearby Oppo would be interested, too?

Oh my God, I am so sorry to hear about your dad. I can’t even come close to imaging...

I realize there’s not much we can do to help, but if writing on here brings any sort of an outlet, then I suppose that’s better than nothing.

It’s really shitty, I’m not gonna lie. You learn to cope though. I do still sometimes wanna ask him advice when fixing a car and well, I can’t. That’s usually what kills me.

Thanks. It’s approaching the 6 month mark so it’s getting a little easier but it’s still just all sorts of shitty.

Yeah I lost my mom a few years ago and its still hard, I had to get some professional help from a therapist. Which really helped me.
