FF, you youngsters, try having a buggered up L5 and right knee and trying to put socks on. YOU wait another 6 months until you are my age, you will find out then. Damn I should have paid more attention to my yoga instructor. At least you only have one sock to put on. I know I should be grateful for something, it is one of those days when I can't quite remember what. I was bringing in the saddlebred and pony when something fell off the roof in the wind and I was on my back alone. I haven't had that much fun since I got my foot stuck in the washing machine. I hope I did not mess up my coccyx --- ouch it hurts.

Sorry to hear about the family stuff. It's awful when kids get caught in the middle of everything. Also, I recently purchased an F150. So far they've had to replace the wiring harness that fried.Towing back from the White Mountains last summer, lost AC,Radio,Navigation,Power Windows.Dealership kept trying to blame the camper! And now the windshield wipers wont turn off. "That's a known problem, pretty common" per the service writer. Had a Ram that was a mess before this. No more domestic vehicles for this household.anthony7812 wrote: ↑Sat. Dec. 18, 2021 8:02 amGood morning fellow rock sizzlers. We’ve had a rough couple weeks here in colley valley. Winds did a number on the pool, we’ve had a family shake up with the niece we were fostering and we have come to the conclusion we will

Since Wednesday we’ve been in everything from an Audi to a VW. I just can’t do import. BMW was the closest to what we are looking for, however the sticker shock isn’t worth it.
Thanks for the family wishes, this car stuff has been something frustrating but has kept my mind from wandering. It’s not easy.

Audi/vw, now there is a man of courage. They will need you in the Ukraine.

Let us know what you settle on. We had a Honda Accord that spent more time in the shop than on the road. Personally I think they all have their issues.ASea wrote: ↑Sun.

So far so good with my Ram. I enjoy plowing with it.

I had a 2012 Ram 1500 with the 4.7 V8 what an awful vehicle and a dog with the Eco throttle. Oil pan rotted off. It frustrates me because they cost so damn much, and I'm all over maintenance. The Ram 1500 rode great though with the coil springs. Ford is a bit more stiff but less saggy when towing. Also the Eco Boost 2.7 has plenty of guts. I think I'm averaging a little over 21mpg. Pretty good for a full size truck.

Most of the trucks at my former workplace were Rams. I think I got a dud. The engine had a tick despite me using synthetic oil, it just seemed to be one thing after another.

Or buy a 2000 F350 powerstroke 7.3. It was Texas cattle truck and every bull must have had a run at it. That was 15 years ago, no service or even an oil change. Still runs just fine and a pulled 15000 pounds down to Florida. It is so untidy I cold not sell it even if I wanted to. No rust. It goes until t dies
