In the 50's there was a song, It was called Schboom. Life is but a dream,
schboom schboom, or something like that, in any opinion. What ever will be
will be like Doris Day used to sing. Have fun and don't worry about it. I
had a couple emails when I broke down on the freeway in Utah say I'd have set
a match to it. I am very fortunate that I had a credit card to fix it and
get home, I am really sorry I spent all that money and did not get the
service or repairs I was promised. I now spent my 16K Harley Davidson
getting my new engine in the Eleganza. It goes great I am happy Tom is Happy
and the only thing I am sad about is I can't have everything. I am a bit
apprehensive about being in line for a GMC without any knowledge what so
ever. I see brand new rigs breaking down all the time, one of my friends
runs a tow truck for Good Sam, also a contract with somebody else. You want
to hear some really sad tales. In my opinion the GMC is just what I wanted.
I sometimes wish I had better knowledge so as to not cause myself so much
grief. My dad used to tell me all the time when I was growing up, Son, if
you dick the guy who is causing you all the trouble in the seat of the pants,
you won't sit down much. What a lot of truth there is in his wisdom. I am
very fortunate like you folks to be able to have one. There were only
13Thousand made and I have been told there are about 8 thousand still on the
road. That makes us a very elite group of owners. No matter the cost I hope
you are as happy driving your GMC as i am. I get a lot of head turns. I
like that. I drive a 56 F100 PU that is in for a paint job now. Yes it is a
classic too. It will be Purple and Turquoise. If it is going to turn heads
I want whip lash. Chuck
