Less enjoyable for me, that's for sure, but it's a good story to tell to my mates. (I'll embellish it more and more and by the last telling it'll be so far-fetched no one will believe me! Lol.
I agree with the electronics thing, it's an issue. I like older trucks, like pre-1982, with less electronics but to have a new car these days one needs to buy...well, a new car. I'm thinking of building an early Ford F100 or F150 one of these days, late 1970,s or early 1980. It'll be nothing special visually but super tough and reliable. I'll get it done one day.
Many more trips will happen, Big Dog is good as new and raring to go. I'm sure I'll survive most of those trips to tell the story afterwards and on this trips on which I die...well, those stories will be even better! 😁
