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.
