My son went through three cars very quickly.
#1) 1966 Turbo Charged Corvair, very nice car, fully restored ...........
6 Mo.
#2) 1981 Ford F150 pickup truck, 27,000 miles on it. Reduced it to a
$700.00 truck in 6 mo.
#3) 1983 Chevy Pickup, 100,000 miles, reduced it to a $700.00 truck in 6
months.
He was so good at reducing good vehicles to wrecks we went to a wrecking
yard and bought him a 73 Chevy El Camio that would barley run. Within 6
months he had it all fixed up and running like a champion.
What's a Dad to do.
