Gas from dragging your ass across the country.

101,000 miles/16 mpg = 6312 gallons x 3.00/gallon = $18,937 on gas over 8 years!!

50k since I've owned, so 50000\14 mpg (*14 worst case.) 3751 gallons $10k +/- $1500.

Lil'Bro brought his Runner for us to do the work on the missing stud from the fan idler assembly. Tore it all down, upgraded to the ringless fan assembly, then went about fixing his surging idle issue, a stuck dashpot and horrible tune done by a lazy mechanic. Tackling the little interior bits/etc tomorrow.

6 hours of man time and family bonding! Woot!

Bump...

Baby sitting the little one, grandpa, and the dog..all at the same time. At least the dog has independence and is having fun chasing her Christmas present, a stuffed duck that goes "quack" whenever she bites it, H I L A R I O U S!!
