: Yep. The house has an attached one car garage, which is nice.
: Unfortunately, my Outback needs the rear main oil seal replaced
: (I did at the same time as a clutch job, popped the seal in too
: far, and a leak has resulted). Doing that means pulling the
: engine, so I ought to redo the timing belt while it's out. That
: might take me a while to do, so the OBW may be occupying the
: garage for a while. I'd rather build kayaks in it (staying on
: topic here), but it's a lot easier to build kayaks in the
: basement than performing engine repairs there ;o).

: I feel your pain there. Grew up with a Ford F250 Custom with a 400
: under the hood and a 4:11 transmission. Got 12 MPG on a good
: day, but only a little less when it was hauling. Definitely not
: something I'd want to use for a daily driver. Newer trucks are
: getting much better gas mileage, but the loan payments on a new
: truck would put me in the poor house. Seein' as I rarely have to
: haul anything...

I had an old F250 with the 400 too right after i got out of the service, but was full time 4x4, 12mpg would have been wonderful .

When I had the big shop I always had a truck, pretty much had to, but it was a tax write off too.

Different when you can't write it off anymore.
