I practiced fixin busses on a 73 and 74 that were given to me. I then bought
a 83.5 and gave it away when it finally started falling apart faster than my
wallet could keep up with 220'000 on the clock, original engine and heads.
For the last 70,000 miles I have owned a 90 camper converted Carat that I
trully love and all things considered has been very kind to me and has been
very reliable. I am 45 years old. Great thread. It's great to know so many
people a little bit better.
