My wife hates my 72 with a passion, but i don't blame her...

I bought my truck off Ebay back in 2002 (taught me a good lesson about buying vehicles by pics alone) and she volunteered to go to Boise ID, and drive it back to San Diego, since she could stop and see her friend in oregon on the way back...

Well it was a nightmare, it wouldn't start half the time (the starter eventually fell off) had a huge hole in the floor (covered by carpet) the mufflers had huge holes on the topside, firing directly at the cab floor, and none of the gauges worked.

so it was a Loud, Hot, nerve racking trip back to So Cal. which included 4 tows by AAA.

She hates the truck, and i don't blame her.
