I think he is referring to a semi, as he referrd to himself once as a truck driver. Probably several hundred K $ for a new one. $17K for the engine for 1.5 million miles usage doesn't sound that out of line, considering...tp

Yep a new truck will run me $120 K plus. My truck is a 2008 so the cost of a rebuild really makes sense. I did put money aside for such repairs. And I was lucky enough have a great friend loan me a truck while mine is down for two weeks.

Do you do long haul or in-state/local driving? Long haul trucking has always baffled me, as to how someone could stay so aware if his surroundings, continually ready for anything. I am a traveling sales rep and am in the car a lot, and even that can become frustrating after a while...

Long haul. Pretty much Wi to New England states and down to Texas now and then. I grew trucking with Dad and started again after the service. I guess I am used to it.

Was out and about after work, stopped at a convenience store for a pack of smokes and asked the girl working there to take a photo. She happily agreed. She was a cutie. Too bad I'm old enough to be her dad. lol

Working on the next challenge. I have two in mind but I'm wondering how difficult they'll be to do.

Congrats on the challenge. Bet if you are old enough to be her father, I'm old enough to be her grand father. She is a cutie, though...tp
