Thread: Goes to show you - even boat mechanics sometime get it wrong

NO WAY I would ever dump a 2003 Chevy for the junk they are rolling out now, especially if you do your own maintenance and repairs. I've got an 02 that I just gave my son.

The only maintenance I do are oil/air filter and spark plug changes (the same for my old John Deere riding mower). The rest the mechanic does. Granted, the horn doesn't work, it needs new tires and the emergency brake cable snapped recently - but so what! As long as I can tow the boat to and from the waters I fish, less is best vs all the sophisticated crap that is on the newer models. Got no problem rolling the windows up and down - by hand!

BTW, my 1995 Toyota Camry runs fine used as a b/up to my newer leased Corolla. I looked under the hood of the newer car to jump the truck battery (no go) and couldn't believe how full of parts there were! I couldn't even find the spark plugs!)

(now if I could only fix my aching back and sleep more than 5 hrs. a night ! )
