I've always been uncomfortable being on the receiving end of simple acts of human kindness. In my case, I was raised to believe that accepting any gift outside the family was a sign of weakness. My folks were pretty harsh, old school Texans: receiving a gift meant that you were burdened with an equivalent obligation.

But to get back on topic, I've got a fairly beat up red 1991 GMC Suburban (aka Clifford) that I'm thinking about dropping a new small block Chevy engine into the beast. You can buy one of these motors for about $1400, and installation is bonehead easy. So I'm thinking that I'll just ignore the peeling clear coat and the body damage and do the new engine this year, and buy a new tranny with my next tax refund. Guess I kinda like the Sleeper aesthetic.
