I feel you're pain!

Insanity is a long and winding road ... I think I finally made it there.

its not just that

but they mess with your mind... sometimes

the van i'm lately thrashing ....as if it was a pickup truck

i hauled a cord of logs in it yesterday

seemed to develope a wheel problem last week

and i thought:
thats strange i had all four brakes done.. recently...

so i go to jack it up to take the wheel off and the lug
nuts are not even "one hand tight..." one is broken off

and out of the four left ....just one took a good umfff to break loose.
man was i bull%$%$%$%$ at seeing that...

here i was.... moving tonage of equipment (belongings)
and i had trusted the shop guys to use their air rachets
but they obviously screwed it all up....

a lil' red wagon.....

a double leftover, in a way
( this was inventoried out of another dealer that had gone bankrupt late last year, Ford is now distrubuting the inventory, that they finally got back, well below the stickered prices)...



an 06 Mercury Mountaineer, with 62 miles on it.

traded in the 97 Expedition with 130+K on it.
