Sounds like you and your wife are doing everything right. With cars lasting 15, 16, or more years you should not have to worry too much about your cars. Just make sure you do the basic maintenance and don’t thrash your cars. Biggest mistake people make is drive fast and brake hard. If you do your own work it can be…

Agreed, I have seen that in all parts of the country where a boom economy happens. That is what drives the American consumer economy. People will spend their hard earned pay on cable, cell phone data, Chinese electronics, and video games, then complain there are no good paying manufacturing jobs while driving a…
What is the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC)?
I agree, having kept our Fords for 18 and 16 years respectively doing just basic maintenance. Plan to keep our current Fords till 2030 or more. Not even sure I will see 2030. ;-)
They do if they are working 80 hours a week and living in company housing working in oil shale fracking country. You should visit Oklahoma or the Dakotas. $80,000 brodozers with full welding and tool rigs on the back are common. Most are probably $120,000 to set up.
You get all the stars!
One of these.
Yes but we can hire Asian IT workers for much less than you so you should be happy with what you get.
Pensions are guaranteed, 401 K’s are not.
I’m not sure if China built Fords can be imported. I know they import from Mexico, Canada and Turkey, but I don’t think they import from China, only to.

The world will be a darker place without her. RIP Jessie.
While the Mustang was ans is popular, I have to go with the Corvette. Who would not want own one version of these if given the chance?
Reminds me of a Gravely. First one built in 1911.
They probably shared a ground circuit. It was probably getting a ground through the door jam switch when it couldn’t through the normal ground circuit.
Agree, I stopped going years ago. I remember one year when the temps were in the upper 90's and no breeze, fumes almost killed me.
I hear you brother. I have hated every Nissan I have ever been stuck with.
Had an Ecosport rental out west this summer and it wasn’t bad. Mileage was less than I expected for something that small. Worst rentals I have had have been Nissan’s. Drove like mush and felt cheap. Had a Subaru Forrester once it drove like a cow. Probably one of the best rentals I had was a Olds Alero, great…
Surprisingly we have had 4 Fords and 2 Chevys over the past 30 years and average age was 16 years when we sold them and all were reliable and still so when sold. It was the salt that finally make them look a little used. Not bad, just didn’t like bringing pieces of carwash home. I think the thing I think about most is…
