I guess it's universal.<br /><br />And Yutha, that car was brand new and could barely make it up a hill! You know I was the last one to rent it? He said it was going to be sold after that.

We took out a 3 year lease on this lemon and what a piece o' crap it was. I can't remember now what the issues were, I just remember telling Dave, after the first year "take it back, get out of the lease, do whatever you have to do, I HATE this car". I also remember saying I would never get another Ford. Ever. (Pam - remember the crummy Ford we rented in NB? Nuff said).Yuthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15654345906099134977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1622500913870267857.post-43579294385984264612010-11-08T23:49:25.522-08:002010-11-08T23:49:25.522-08:00Pam, when we were dating, my DH had a Ford Falcon ...Pam, when we were dating, my DH had a Ford Falcon (an Aussie car) and it was universally known as "that pile of cr@p". No clever nicknames. The truth was just too obviously bad - the constant breakdowns, the leaking radiator fluid, the power steering that never worked, the stupendous amount charged for spare parts ... oh (and this is not Ford's fault, btw, but still) the discovery of the rotting banana peels the previous owner's kids had managed to stuff into the door cavities ... <br /><br />We never bought a Ford again.Rachel Walshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15406943046329566026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1622500913870267857.post-26332409783027563832010-11-08T11:11:37.515-08:002010-11-08T11:11:37.515-08:00That's because there WAS.

They told me there was nothing wrong with it. I was so happy. Every time that stinking thing wouldn't start I'd think, "Well, it could be worse. There could actually be something wrong with it."Debbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09531125606268748793noreply@blogger.com
