I lives! Now I pay nearly $700 in insurance every month! 4 cars all running and insured. Time to wash and wax.

T urn on the truck music, pour some gas into the carb and fire up that 225 Slant 6. First start since October...

Good luck.  hopefully better than mine.  Last Sunday I went to take a cruise in the fintail for the first time in a month.  I discovered someone prowled the garage where the car is stored, and ransacked my interior.  Nothing of real value lost, they didn’t get into the trunk where tools and spare parts live, but still maddening.  Then to top it off, a piece of interior door trim became dislodged while I was driving, and it’ll probably take a couple hours of tedious work to replace.  At least it ran fine and looked good.

Shit! I am sure mine is ok, but it lives outside so we will see what nature has done

This is what we'll show whenever you publish anything on Kinja: > CarsofFortLangley - Oppo Forever 05/04/2019 at 12:10

I think trucks are maybe less sensitive.   I have a suspicion the old car was getting back at me for allowing it to be violated in that way.  That or I have watched Christine a few too many times.

Hot damn that's expensive insurance. Max coverage on all four of my vehicles including a motorcycle is only $260.

I’ve had the M alibu out a couple times this spring, it makes me happy.  It’s always insured and “running” because technically its my regular-ass car, just a very old one(that’s better on gas than the fargo)

Damn you weren't kidding. That's what I pay for 6 months. All but the Ridgeline are on collector car policies though.

Im just curious what your selection of truck music is?

Bluegrass/hillbilly or classic rock

Awesome!  When I used to drive my parents 4x4s or when I had my Ram it was classic rock, southern rock, and a little hair metal.
