FIX OR REPAIR DAILY


So my wonderful husband got me into FORD. My first car was a 1984 red chevy cavalier called the "Deer Slayer". One night my 16 year old friends and I were out headed to a party in Havana, Fla, and a huge deer ran out in front of me and smashed my car to pieces, needless to say we did not attend the party. I never got it prperly fixed, so one of my guy friends(can't remember who) named it the Deer Slayer. Second car was a 1985 blue 4 door subaru with a roll out sunroof that leaked and had no air condtioner. The 3rd car was a 1986 Honda Accord 2 door hatch back, loved that car until the ac died too. Those 3 cars each had over 78,000 miles and never ever did I have to spend 750.00 on it. The first car I bought out of nursing school was a 1997 green honda civic, 2 door sport loaded, loved it. Had it for 3 years and never had to repair a thing. Then I got into the SUV mode, so my dad was working at Jeep and they had that 325.00 month leasing thing so of course I got one. I loved that too, had that for 4 years and eventually the passenger door wouldnt open, and then I met FORD loving hubby. "Let's go to Ford and look at the explorers". Okay why not, he had one, his dad and his brother too. Ok!! So after driving one, of course traded mine in for the Explorer. It turned out to be crappy too because right before we moved here, the back glass burst out on me in the Publix parking lot and after my hubby researched it after paying 1000.00 for it, it was recalled and we never got the notice, so he got all his money back. Well at 50,000 miles everything started to go, so we traded it in for this POS I have now. It is the bottom of the line no frills explorer bought in Sept 2006 and this week the radiator died and cost me 750.00......I am so never ever buying a Ford again. Oh and hubby drives a CHEVY now!!!!!!!!!!
