In response to nicke
Jeff & Nick,
If something like that ever happened to me, I'd just start screaming like Chris Farley & David Spade did when the deer came to life in the back seat of their car, in the movie Tommy Boy... my hat's off to Nick & Jeff's Dad
As for the bullet-proofness of a good Chevy, my neighbor gave me this seriously beat '67 C10 with a straight 6 when he retired, and moved back to Mississippi. You could never tell when the old beast would run low on (or out of) oil & water... it usually happened on the freeway, en route to work. I always kept a couple gallons of water and a gallon of 'recycled' oil behind the seat, and when she was steaming profusely, or knocking out of control, I'd just hop out, add the depleted liquid [or liquids], start her up and head on my way.
That old truck had 200 thousand + miles on her when I traded her for a new wire welder, and until I lost contact with the guy who get her, she continued to run faithfully.
