Should get an International Scout ll like mine. Then you could have the best of all the US makers. Have had it for 24 years, driving it everyday. The dependability is great, the gas mileage not so great.

 

 

Hey, I like Internationals. Drove an all wheel ten-tonner on the beach for a while.

 

On the Fords, (fix or repair daily), our Fords have this annoying little problem with the automatic gearboxes kicking from park to reverse without warning.

 

The catchcry here is, "Has your Ford driven itself lately?" :D

Persevere,

it pisses people off.

Scout has the original Chrysler transmission.

 

The Chrysler Hemi auto gearboxes here are praised by the racing fraternity for their reliability.

 

Holden (GM Australia) actually came up with an indestructible box called the PowerGlide. With only two cogs, it's a fuel guzzler, but on the quarter mile, it has no equals, and is a small percentage of the weight of the Hemi box.

 

I actually managed to shift my powerglide box into reverse from seventy miles an hour. It just locked up, like yanking on the hand-brake. :cool:

Yep, until somebody in another Expedition, hits you in your 70's bug, then you'll be squashed! :eek:

 

Life is full of shitty compromises isn't it?

 

No kidding, I have been rear-ended three times in my Expedition, and boy did it suck for them...

I am a pathetic piece of shit leeching single mom.

When their not bursting into flame that is...

 

 

Oh yes, race day. Here in America, Bubba goes and watches Ford, GM, Chevy and Chrysler go racing and this is what they look like.

Not even in the same ball park!

I put no stock in religion. By the word "religion" I have seen the lunacy of fanatics of every denomination be called the will of god. I have seen too much "religion" in the eyes of too many murderers. Holiness is in right action, and courage on behalf of those who cannot defend themselves, and goodness.

 

 

 

 

:eek: WE'VE SPENT HOW MUCH IN IRAQ? :eek:

Actually, not even in the same class of motor sports.

Yes, but that's because the American car manufactures don't know how to built something as sophisticated as a World Class Formula Racing Car...And the European's aren't stupid enough to build a NASCAR jalopy. :eek:
