Reply to "My journey"

I sincerely hope things go better for you.

I'm not trying to make like I'm the lone ranger. I just always join and participate in whatever forums I happen to be interested in at the time, and that usually ends up telling my story, good or bad, and in this case, it's gone badly for me.

I realize there's others out there with MUCH bigger problems than mine.

People from this forum have offered, and helped me out with my car, and I plan to pay it forward for sure, and anything I can do to help anyone when I'm able, I will freely offer my help. "Do unto others as you would have others do to you" holds true here.

I am very grateful for Chuck and Ron for helping me work on my car. We are close to the point where I can take things and finish things myself.

Yeah, life is hard. I bought my dream car about three years ago, "turn key" so I was told. On my way home from picking it up, the head liner let go and had to hold it up with one hand and drive with the other. Shortly after, the clutch had to be replaced, ZF issues, then the slave cylinder, followed by shocks and bushings that also had to be replaced. Soon after, the fuse box decided to fall apart, had no choice but to replace that too, etc, etc... The list goes on and on. No one is to blame. I am a big boy, I looked at it, I bought it, Caveat Emptor. Nobody else cares nor should they. I bought a 43 year old car. The guys here were and are a great resource of information, Thank you.
So, how are things today? Well, I have to rape my retirement to pay for rehab for my kid, my brother is dying of liver cancer, my father has just been diagnosed with Alzhieimer's and I don't think my marriage is going to make it through this shit storm. I do not want anyone's sympathy, it is my problem.
At least my car is running good, for now...
MTS, just to let you know, you are not the Lone Ranger.
