S-Tenacious (my truck)

I recently posted a picture of my 1993 chevy s-10 and in discouragement I said "back to driving this again". I bought it eight years ago for 350 dollars 1 hundred 67 thousand miles on it and needs a clutch,
Maybe in some third world country some under rated mechanics would put it together but I did it in my driveway by myself. I couldn't get the hydrolic clutch to work at first but eventually I did,  In eight years I've also driven a 2002 grand am and a 2000 caviler and though those cars might have been more convenient for my family my truck is a hidden blessing.
I've driven it with no clutch, no starter, no brakes and most recently no coolant. I've wrecked it three times and put it back together. It's been blue and white and then primer white. Then primer white with a burgundy hood and a orange fender then it was all tan desert storm..... it rusted while I drove the tires off of it. It has a 4.3 motor with a 5 speed transmission it can dominate 100 miles an hour after every corner you turn "It's S-Tenacious" I've never drove it easy. I asked Gavin what color he wanted to paint it he said "Spiderman blue " so I painted it spider-man blue, Back to driving this again?
It blew a soft plug two weeks ago I know I've driven it without coolant. Thursday after work jacked it up had to take off a motor mount to get to it. The motor mount was broke! The oil pan was sitting right on the frame, The v-6 engine doesn't have alot of room in the engine compartment but I jacked it up Ben pounded out the soft plug I put the new one in and we put in the new motor mount in less than two hours.... It's S-tenacious 2 hundred 61 thousand and I can still do as fast as I need to go.
Ask Sparky when was the last time you did a hundred? Yesterday and the day before that and the day before that.......He looks so content sitting over there with his arm up on the arm rest. he don't care were looking through a cracked windshield.... just that were not walking  we've been put together again. (why can't I fix me?)
