Title: I Hate Fords

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.

Americans have always made great trucks...vans are a different story.

I have two different friends who own Chevy vans. Beware of the motors that open and close the windows. They are notorious for going bad and they cost and arm and a leg to buy and replace.

My Mom has a Nissan Murano that's pretty sweet.

Those are uber-cool. My Mom got a new Honda CRV last year, it's her second one. My brother's step-daughter got her old one, Mom only put about 45,000 miles on it over eight years.

Those things get great gas mileage I hear. That's going to come in handy this summer.

My Frontier p/u is still rocking at 26+ MPG (4-cylinder, 5-spd). I keep looking at the new F-150's with the V-6, but they just don't get the MPG that my Nissan does.

Speaking of gas mileage, has the number of new Cameros, Challengers, and Chargers sitting in used car lots in your part of the country increased? They seem to be everywhere around here. I guess the reality of owning a high performance, gas guzzling V8 wasn't as pleasant as the dream.

No, the economy is not as depressed in North Texas and folks still want their toys. The Grapevine Ford dealer is the #2 Mustang dealer in the US, they turn over a hefty volume of F-150's, also. This area is an anomaly and not like the rest of the country.
