I once had a Crown Victoria, and it took me two days to change the water pump. I had no idea how to do anything with the engine, even with the repair manual.

My Windstar van broke down because the plugs were worn out. It was a transverse V-6 -- except that it's not a V-6. The cyclinders are essentially in a flat plane -- opposed to each other. The front three came out no problem. The back three I had to do by feel, after taking off a bunch of stuff off the engine.

I ended up with bruised hands and forearms, cuts, and scapes. My friends were astonished when I showed them what I looked up.

I'm going back to Chevys. I will never own a Ford again.

You really need a Facebook or Tweet account. Your penchant for informing the world about every meaningless thought that crosses your mind would fit right in there.

So you like Fords, then?

My maternal grandpa owned a Chevy Dealership in Caruthersville, Mo for more than 50 years so I grew up with Chevy's but I have nothing against Ford's. I had a Ford F-150 years ago that was a great truck and and a Mercury Cougar too that was good.

But that's not why I made the comment.

This is what I had to do just to get to the three back plugs.

That is why I consider the money I pay other people to do that work money well spent.

Plugs generally last 100,000 miles and since the van has 195,000 on it I'll never have to change them again.

I regret changing them and if I could do it again I'd pay to have it done.

Don't blame you. The only vehicle I ever enjoyed working on was my 68' GTO back when I was a teen.
