...and maybe I'll tell you about the time I rolled a J50 sierra on the dunes up at sandy cape

Hi All,

Geeze i dont know GG. All that polishing and cleaning and u went out and got it dirty again....

Well done mate. I'll never forget the first time I took my revamped POS for a 'trial' run.

Homestar - not yet, but probably today.

the boss women here gives good feedback..... I took her car last weekend as the old Rangie costs so much to drive any distance. 10minutes out of town the phone rings "The door won't open" ..... "Try harder" I say. the drivers door doesnt' stick as such. But the bitch of a thing requires you to put your finger behind the top edge of it and pull it open most of the time. I'm guessing it "relaxes" into a groove worn into the catch pin, so it needs to roll up and over it to open.

fast forward 3minutes .... the phone rings "The car won't start" .... "what do you mean it always starts ?". I hear it cranking cranking in the background... " rrr, rrr, rrr ............................. stop ............................. rrr, rrr, rrr" .................................. stop ................................ rrr, rrr, rrr .................. stop .... etc" What are you doing? You know how that car starts, we lived in the damn thing for 6months last year. It'll either start first grunt of the starter ............... Or it cranks for a solid 6seconds before it catches..... So she cranks it more than 2 seconds .... and wow, the damn thing starts" ............................... She doesn't like the fact the plastic on the door trim handles is broken .... and it cuts her. It also really ****es her off the interior interior lights don't work ( pffff.... bull****, they work so well, I removed all the globes to turn the damn things off ).

She is also far than impressed the back window doesn't stay up ( NEVER leave those damn things open when your moving the car around, the bouncing of the glass fatigues and breaks the ball joint off window side with a few short minutes ............................... Guess how I know this ). The central locking, it drives her nuts the doors never unlock properly. She doesn't appreciate my idea of "why would I ever lock it? If you never lock it you don't have to worry about unlocking it".

Why can't I get a decent car like everyone else ? She doesn't see my point of view that it's the best ****box I've ever owned. It does everything and anything I want it to do ... it goes anywhere, tows anything ... always starts, always gets us home ..... What else could anyone want from a car ?

Gee's, women right? You just can't please them.
