Ford Transit Recall

This could affect the availability of a rental I have coming up in early April. A guy from National called me on Saturday to warn me about this. He offered me two minivans in exchange for the Transit, but I told him I would have to wait and see when the recall gets resolved. Just what I've always wanted, two Town and Countries! I am thinking more like a Sienna + an ATS. We'll see what I can negotiate.

Don't get an F150. Apparently their brakes don't work.

I should just buy this: http://boone.craigslist.org/cto/5443931498.html

I want to drive a limo so bad (followed by drifting one). That one is in very nice condition. And it comes with a website. Not many car ads say that (none).

[Bob]

I wonder what the website is....

Click here to reserve your ride in a 21 year old limo. Call now and we'll throw in the optispark package.

So this is getting more interesting. National just cancelled my reservation for the 15 passenger van and replaced it with two minivans. I am going to call the guy tonight and see if I can get one minivan and a luxury car. If not, I think I am just going to go rogue and cancel the two minivan reservations and reserve a premium SUV. Hopefully I can get a Suburban LTZ again.

I heard she hangs on pretty good.

That on ramp was sweet!

Driving my Caprice for 15 years and 187k, including probing all of the limits, has allowed me to be more sensitive to numb platforms (like a body on frame SUV). It's like when you lose your sight and your hearing sharpens...
