I dont know about todayz Ford's. So, be thrilled on the CRV (I drive a Honda myself, but a sport coup). Probably one of the best car's I had as far as longevity had to be a 1993 Isuzu Stylus (sport) ... no ... I shit you not, I bought it new off the showroom floor then, kept it 7+ year's, had it paid in 4 though, and put over 350K mile's on it, without rebuilding the engine either! But I used to also back then toss a quart of "Slick 50" in my engine every few change's, and the rest Valvoline 10W30 (Valvoline I used for many year's, and of course Castrol ... as far as the popular Pennzoil ... you couldnt get me to put that shit in my lawnmower! ... Pennzoil would buld up alot of engine sludge for some reason). But I'll never forget the Isuzu ... man .. if that car could talk it could tell some stories : ) I actually sold it with all them mile's on it too, to this dude down in Mexico, who wanted to put a new engine in it after almost 8 year's, as a sort of project, which he done ... gave it to him for $300 cash (American dollar's of course). When I bought it, I made sure all the part's under the hood were Japanese too, with the Tokyo stamp's, now ... the kickback on working on them of course back then, is that the Japanese make everything so damn tight under the hood, compared to American's, so getting shit loose could get a tad nerveracking : ) But no ... it even had the same transmission, beside's some minor trans work I had done on a gear slipping, but after 5 year's at that ... imagine that!<br /><br />I need to shut up ... : )<br /><br />Later ....Ranch Chimphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14086251248546955720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-829836469690492751.post-82534295621347921272012-03-13T22:13:49.495-04:002012-03-13T22:13:49.495-04:00Thanks for an excellent article!

So congratulations to you.

Don't interfere too much, or it just may take longer (you know, the spite factor).<br /><br />There is a law somewhere that says that you have to take a new car out for ice cream. There is nothing in the law that says it has to be in your home town.

Oh yeah, confrontation is coming down the pike...I can smell it.<br /><br />Btw, on your way to Key West, take the Old Dixie Hwy (Card Sound Rd) at Florida City, to Key Largo. Stop at Alabama Jack's just before the Car Sound Bridge. Of course, if you are a Parrothead, you probably already know about this place.jadedjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16569736113526368917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-829836469690492751.post-20492346514840377272012-03-11T09:12:04.604-04:002012-03-11T09:12:04.604-04:00Don't forget that awesome 10 year -100K mile w...Don't forget that awesome 10 year -100K mile warranty on a KIA.
