I thought I was cheap until

reading how cheap you guys are. I consider my vehicles toys with each bringing different joys. The 78 Datsun Z probably has about 5 or $6K in it and is awaiting a turbo transplant from an 83 along with a modern engine management system. The diesel ram was $10K used & has another 2K in it fixing the incredibly p poor fuel system and front end. It is a perfect example of a 500,000 engine inside a 50,000 mi vehicle. The 85SD was a gift and will soon get a paint job. None have less than 145,000 mi on the clock & all receive whatever they need to keep moving and all have plans for improvements.
