Re: almost fried my van pulling new boat home!
Hmmm...an update....
I found out what the ominous shudder was getting up that bridge. It was a bad CV joint. It finished going bad a weeks or two later...boot was broken, and sure enough it was shot.
Put a remanufactured one in...now Im ready to pull that boat!
Not really, but I bet I could if I had to.
Still looking for a cheap truck. I 'bout got the ****s of craigslist. I was heading over to look at a blazer...the fellow told me that there were a few more people headed over, so I knew I may not get it....
I kid you not, as I was pulling up the street, I saw the truck, and I saw the guy counting his money from the guy who made it there before me!
Lots of people who dont return calls and stuff too!
IF money was not an issue, Id be fine, its just that I am a bottom feeder. Well lets just say that I am broke most of the time, and I am a cheap SOB anyway. Family of 7, and Im the only income!
My Dad hustles cars up in PA...his brother owns a dealer, and Pop buys cars at auction for his brother and also he picks up a few for himself to make some $$ on, so hes gonna look out for a solid Jeep for me. I think Im gonna go with a cherokee. I will keep looking for that impossible deal meanwhile however...
