>: Not to mention the fact that almost any *brand new* car is better than >: most 13-year old any-car. Let's see how those Frauds (er... Fords) are >: doing in just *10* years... yep. I had an '84 Ford LTD wagon for about a year ('93-'94). Junk. When it rained, spent $750 for a new computer brain. Engine died about 2 months later. Don't even want to *think* about the cost of a new engine. Had the bus for about 2 years now, and the same engine came from my old rusted out ghia before that. Still runs. Had to buy a generator for $40. Brain-$750, Generator-$40. You do the math. ;-) Peace, ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Edmund A.
