the joys of having paid off your truck....

I am so glad we paid our truck off in December of last year, but now I get to dump the money that used to go into the truck payment into maintenance costs... all in all, a much better deal. This week alone I've spent about $200, and have another $500 or so to go; not to mention that the engine is in need of an overhaul, and that doesn't take into account the cost of inspecting and tagging the truck in Texas. The truck has 210000 miles on it, though, so she's been a real workhorse... still runs fairly well, but 2 cylinders are fouling so I know there is work to be done. On a side note - who in their right mind puts the oil dipstick tube right in front of a spark plug? Geez!
