    Went out to start up the generator, snow blower and Mazda Tribute. Gen. started right away. Snow blower was stubborn, but it starts. The Tribute wouldn't start. I just drove it last Friday
    Got the battery charger on it now.

    That doesn't make sense at all !!!:facepalm:

    That's almost like the Calif Black & Yellow lic plates that were re issued by Calif DMV 2 years ago for classic cars only . Now you see these plates on newer cars ...... WTF !!!

    Bought a Ford Tarus wagon for the Ex about 30 years ago with the now infamous 3.0L V6. Ate head gaskets like candy and major engine problems every couple of months. I think people that have classic plates on vehicles like that deserve them. If those old Exploders and Tarus Pieces of Shit are still running and on the road they deserve something LOL.

    Water running in a coworkers dorm this afternoon. Pipe froze in 4th floor room, water made it's way clear to the 0 floor until discovered. What a mess. Managements brainstorm to cut room temps back to 57 degrees while kids are on break. Looks great on an energy savings spreadsheet, but in real world just don't work. And we are a campus of higher education. Ok

    Be happy you never had it towed ... In the Mid 80s when I worked part time towing those things came out Taurus and the Sable it was found out if you picked one up with the sling on the front the rocker panels would bend lol . Man did people with those things get pissed when we showed up with a flat bed for 65 bucks and hour vs the std light duty for 40 an hour . We kept the notice from ford in the truck just for them :}
