My mechanic called and told me the bad news about my van. Fuel pump. $850. I'm going to buy a car from the '60s I can fix myself... Maybe a Pontiac Tempest with the sland-4. I had one when I was 19 but blew the engine up.

Isn't it an Aerostar or something? A replacement pump is like $150, if it's just the jump. Replace it yourself. Don't get the pump/sender assembly, just the pump. Just don't forget to do a proper solder job on the wiring connections to the pump.
Windstar. The problem is that I would have to drop the tank, which I cannot do. I checked online and it says to only partly drop the tank. A fuel pump is only about $60. I supposed I could tow it to a friend's house and spend two days fixing it.
You can't drop the tank? The amazing turtle can't drop a simple tank? Doesn't it just have two straps like 99.99% of all tanks on the road? On the ground, in the winter, during a snow storm, I could do that job in about 2 hours, :p That's taking into account my old age and somewhat impaired physical condition these days.
I'd have to tow it seven miles to a friend's house, because my apartment complex will not allow me to work on it. Next to his house is a place that said they'd do it for $400, so I'm taking it there. Could I work in my parking lot, I could do it in a day or so for less than $200, after buying the fuel pump and a hydralic jack.
Ahem...... Training wheels?
Training wheels? lol......I was thinking trike. Maybe a Big Wheel for Turtle. : )
Good heavens no, a third wheel would only confuse Turtle. We need to keep things simple. (hehehehehehe)
I suspect Turtle has a lot of experience with being the third wheel. : ) lol
You're just jealous of Turtle. Yes you are! Jealous!
lol...Stop your sobbing! : )
Double SNAP!! Turtle, you should just ride off into the sunset and give it up for today, she's on a roll!!
Peddle off into the sunset......sobbing while clinging to his yesterdays of riding around in his creepy Windstar van, with the faint stench of fast food mixed with Thunderbird and man musk still lingering in his nostrils. lol
You just described emo turtle and his Hai Karate!! A match made in, in,................a swamp??
lol....Emo Turtle~back in black, not too proud to sob, pondering the possibilities of getting a Hearse to replace the Windstar.
