Re: Glad to know at least one person out there...

Well, I had a celebrity wagon once that my father had sold me for $800. After the 5th tow, new: Alternator (exploded on the highway), radiatior (broke open (rust) in a parking lot), starter (lets not go there) etc., it was donated to the American Heart Association.

I have been talking about getting out of NJ since I was 15. Since I am married now with 2 kids (I wake up amazed every day that I am married with a family) it makes it difficult to up and move. Ah well.

isn't taking me seriously! I left out the part about having my
power steering pump replaced 3 times in the last 7 months - all of
them leaked and my driveway is stained from one end top the other.
Or the indash CD player that died - twice, and the second
replacement that scored rings into all of my CD's.Or about the fact
that I have to take my car in every month or two because it
develops a front-end shake. He picked the wrong item to compare a
camera to. How many people ever got killed due to a defective
camera? The automobile is probably the worst piece of crap forced
on the consumer today. He should have used a refridgerator as a
comparison - when was the last time you had a problem with one of
them? Sorry that you're in Jersey - I used to be from there, but
I'm not anymore.

Wayne, thank's. This thread has been a blast to read. Since I
work in a windowless building in NJ, I need all the humor I can
muster to get though the day.
