Anybody have a vehicle they're unwilling/ unable to let go?

What engine does it have? Wouldn't happen to be a 302 would it? Badaas engine. I had a 68 SS back years ago that had a small block 400. Ran good, but was full of rust.

2001 Dakota Ext.Cab. 4cyl. 5 speed 238,xxx mi. on the 5th set of tires. replaced the clutch at 214,xxx mi. radiator,hoses,t-stat last year, new brakes(everything). timing chain at 186,xxx. couple sets of brakes. regular tune ups. and a pesky Crankshaft Position Sensor. started using Mobil 1 Synthetic at 12,000mi or so. best thing i ever did. got a slight lifter tap, but i tried the Seafoam thing, still undecided. LOL best thing, she is still good looking and PAID for. go just about anywhere i want to go, good on gas.

This has been brutal.

It turned out my gamble paid off, and the return line I ordered was the correct one. My car is running!
Now to just let the gas run out again so I can drop the tank one more time. It won't be a long wait. The valve is leaking despite my repair attempt, so I'm gonna try one more fix (with JB Weld this time) before admitting defeat and ordering a new tank.

I need warm weather and my motorcycle. I actually enjoy wrenching on that... Lol

It's got a 300HP 350, 10.25:1, with a 3 speed hydraglide tranny. snaps off the line, accelerates forever, and will go from one gas station to the next in record time.

Sweet! Well except for the gas station part.

I'll probably never get rid of my truck, it's served me well and I have way too much into it.

First post...
Have a '99 Wrangler with +70K nearly flawless miles that I've had since new. It has only left me stranded once and that was at home, in the garage, when the battery failed (probably jinxed myself now). That something I can't say about the cars I've owned during the same time.
Jeep has a mild lift with 33" tires, a winch, and on-board air in case of a flat tire.
It is my 'go to' vehicle in severe bad weather or for hurricane evacuation. Of course, at 13 MPG, I need to tow a fuel tender.

I know the feeling!

I've got a 1965 Ford Mustang that I drove to my sisters house in Chattanooga when I lived there, while I was moving to IL. That was back in 1989. I have gone back to visit it a few times, but never had the money to get it running to get it to where I lived at the time. Fast forward 25 years, and I am now back in TN, I have the $ to get it towed to where I live, but due to infighting between the family, my sister won't talk to me. It involves siding with my stepmother when my father died, and this sister didn't even come to his funeral because my stepmother was there...but enough go that. So, I don't know if I have that car anymore. I told my son he could have it if if he can get it out of there...but that may be another long story.
