I was listening to 104.3 on the radio, and took a quick glance west to look at the mountains. A GD taxi cut in front of me and stopped. I wasn't going all that fast due to traffic, but the way our bumpers lined up spelled doom for the Suzuki. It wasn't worth all that much, so even though the damage was fairly limited the insurance company totaled it.

RIP. It was a fun car to drive and honestly, a beast in the snow. The picture above was during that massive storm a few years ago. I had run out of beer, and needed to get to the store. I was literally the only one on the roads, and that's when I pulled the Ford out of its stuckness. Or suckness. Same thing.

Not bragging. Expressing an opinionn based on some personal experience. Is that ok with you?

Same. Piles of shit. Except for the fine Corinthian leather. Ricardo Montalbon nailed that.

I know what you’re thinkin’
You really want a Lincoln

I haven't had those experiences. I take care of my cars. And i find that hard to believe anyway because then WHY would you own a Ford?

I thought it was rich Corinthian leather?

I recently picked up a PT cruiser GT as a project (hey shut up, yes it's kinda gay looking, but it's a fully loaded GT with the 2.4 L turbo that goes like a raped ape....and turns like a brick) with 165k on it. Tranny (insert 2nd joke here) works great. Electronics are fubar though. Pretty sure it needs a whole new ECM.

Lincoln’s suck.

This is why i made another thread to avoid the usual douchebaggery. I guess it didn't work.

I do like the PTC. I thought the Daimler Chrysler cars were pretty good during that era.

I would put in a bottle of Lucas tranny additive to be on the safe side. Im sure you're not rebuilding the transmission lol

The fluid is thick as molasses. If it isn't sealed (I don't think so) just pour half the bottle down the neck. Do it while the car is hot to help is sink down. It will help improve gear grip with worn fluid.

You shouldn't have disrespected my Liberty.

What kind of American doesn't like Liberty anyway?
