Garage Borrowed - 6 weeks and counting

[sixdogs]

We all got to vent as it keeps us patient as well as the good level headed advice from others that are not emotionally involved. ...


.

Isn't that the truth...the value of this free advice on this site is that it is honest opinion from reasonably intelligent and experienced people without a dog in that particular fight.

Congrats on your vette departure. I am curious though, you said the car has a non chevrolet engine and transmission. What is under the hood?

I am not sure, but I think its is somebodies 455 Cubic Inch engine. Also a custom rebuilt transmission, custom clutch pack, and custom drive shaft.

wow, really? a guy cant park one truck, in your field, on a farm?

i understand taking up your garage endlessly, but saying no to parking a truck in a field...

did you bother to read the rest of my message? or did you not understand it?

1, he's want to come over every day and use the truck, or the tools.. thus he's be at my place daily.. like when I'm off and would like to rest, or spend time with the wife.

he'd want to take the truck out to jobs.. meaning every time he left and came back.. I'd have to corral animals so he could open the pasture gate. that's 2x per trip.

not to mention the cost of the truck and tools.. I'd have to get a rider on my insurance to cover it..

none of those appeal to me.

I turned down a guy who wanted to park his 40 ft race trailer on the property. Seemed like a huge hassle, and if he took off for some reason, I'm stuck with a huge trailer that I can't really sell or get rid of.

Gee, friends, neighbors and family taking advantage of a giving soul. Hmmmm whoda thought.

People screwing me has made me a curmudgeon, and I'm much happier not having people take advantage of my good nature time, and time, and time, again.


If it was just once I could understand, but it has happen to me so many time I find it difficult to sit down at times.
