I had a Chevy K2500 that basically didn’t have rings anymore. Gas mileage on the highway was single digits.

Worse, it burned just about as much oil as it did gas. I’d buy whatever the cheapest oil I could find a couple cases at a time and would have to stop every half hour or so on the highway to add a couple quarts. I’d also use it to “recycle” all of my and my friends’ used oil from oil changes. At one point the bed was about half full of empty oil quarts.

I bought it crazy cheap to do “truck stuff” around town every once in a while. But my daily-driver broke down and I drove it as my daily for a little bit.

Eventually a friend’s car broke down and he borrowed it for a while so he could shop for a replacement. He called me one night and told me I was bankrupting him.

Oh to be young and broke again!
