Yep, my Cadi gets a bit tiring in DC traffic during rush hour. Good thing I don't drive there anymore. My preference is a manual Cummins
What kind of cadi? I didn't know Cadillac made a stick shift.

Ain't a single new ride car or truck I could afford to buy. Newest I ever had was a two year old 68 bronco, everything else has been high mileage runners or junkers I have to fix. But today, sheesh, even used beat on ones are high. I'll keep what I got for awhile I guess.IF they made a small diesel ratsun like my 81 I would like a new one of those for sure, simple, good mileage, you can haul some stuff in it, although very light duty as trucks go. I think of it as a commuter car with a huge trunk. I'd like to get an 80s ton and a quarter chevy CUCV, but I think cheap available ones have peaked at the auctions and gone away, they are all high now too.New truck prices are insane.

It sucked the big one. I wasn't getting my SS checks then and it represented about 1/4 years gross pay for me. I had some runners stored elsewhere, but they got all my good ones. A kind AS member sold me my 371 at his cost to get me back with a decent big saw, that sure helped. Since then I just haunt CL and once a year or so I buy out the customer no shows and no fixers at my local dealers. Last batch I got four runners so far from the pile, best being a husky 359 and an older model 44 which needs a big more tweaking to be 100%, but still runs ok. Hotrods, both of them.
My dad is sending his 2 mac's my way to try and get one running. He has a mini mac and i think it is an mac3818.... or something like that. It may be fun to try and get them working. One may just need a carb clean or a replacement carb though that could be tough to find.
Dug a few feet and scrounged up some sweet taters! Some mambos in there.
I have got a few of those running before, and one of them was the only one yank cold start saw I ever had. With that said, the cheap poulans are wayyyy easier to work on and keep running well.
I have a poulan that I like. And with a muffler mod and a loop of stihl rapid super, it cuts quite well for what I have invested and I like the way it feels in my hands.Not that I have expensive saws or anything but I wish I listened to my father in-law. He cleared his property with a crappy Poulan and Crafstman. Only had an 18" bar. He milled his own lumber to build his guest cabin. Here I am, in my second year of burning, and I already have three saws. One of them is 91cc!

Took a couple more loads out on sunday. I don't care what anybody says, red oak is way heavier than white. Second pic was snapped half loaded cause it was getting pretty dark. If the snow holds off till after Thanksgiving I should finish up the front half of the scrounge. The back will be for next year.
Zogger beat me to it. Some older Poulans and Craftsmans were good, solid saws. Depends what he had.He cleared his property with a crappy Poulan and Crafstman.
