I miss my truck!!

It's been parked in my driveway for about four, or five months  now. Breaks are shot, and both gas lines are rusted to the point where one of them has a huge leak in it. As soon as I start it up, gas just  poors out. 

My mechanic has told me that he cannot find the lines anywhere, the manufacture doe snot make them anymore due to the age of the truck. And he's made gas lines before, bu the way these are made to function, it's something that he cannot fabricate. 

I'm not giving up yet! The truck is a year 2000 model, and it's been paid off for several years now. 

...sigh.... 

Reminds me of the Lyle Lovett song... "Old Black's my trucks name, she's held together by B.F. GoodTire, and Bailing wire."

And another song... "You could light my truck on fire, and roll it down a hill, and I still wouldn't trade if for a Coupe DeVille."
