screw you and the Buick LeSabre you rode in on.
That's not really my choice of chariots, thank you. Actually one of the vehicles I drive is a ford product, manufactured in 1991, but which had over a hundred thousand miles on it when I bought it used. I think we've put around 45,000 miles on it since then, and its still going. I still try to do all the work that is required to keep it rolling, in spite of my health. I replaced a hose on the steering pump only a few weeks ago, along with having fixed a flat tire myself. (Did you know that it costs $11.00 now to get a flat fixed?) Also, I wrestled for about half a day recently with replacing a faulty part that had produced a vacuum leak (a rubber tee in the line coming off of the PCV). I also gave that high-milage foot-saver a new set of plugs this past summer (ha! the first time they'd been touched in the 45,000 miles we've driven the thing).
I also own a Dodge truck, but of a different color than Dakota's. His is blood-red, where mine is the color of purity.
Buick LeSabre? Not my brand! But they all have too much plastic in them to be worth what they cost.
