Is it still having transmissions issues? Name it shifty.
The transmission works great when going in a straight line and only accelerating. It's all that other stuff it has issues with.

LOL, it drives great when its driving great! Don't expect the transmission to "shift" though.... Don't even think about turning left or right when driving or else..... Gotta love Ford's huh.

My credo
If it's not broken Don't Fix It!
I never really got into naming my vehicles but because I have taken so many and rebuilt to solid road legal machines that were already on the hook going to the junkyard I started giving them numbers and referred to as Reserection 1,2,3 ect.

Although kids mom refers to my ranger as The Eggplant ( often wonder if it is ment more about the driver and not the truck ) because of its weird color that changed depending on how bright the sun is. Just look at the pics and you should understand.

I do refer to my vehicle's as a she though. Like my ex wife they get temperamental at times and makes you want to just walk away from it.

Have you lost arguments with yourself? Sounds like a personal experience lol.... "I'm not crazy officer, my other personality is crazy though."
I've never lost an argument with myself. I always win!

I'll take Ford over GM any day. 63,000km (around 40,000 miles) on a 2003 Pontiac Sunfire, I replaced the engine. It had a broken motor mount, and when I sold it, I think the coil was bad (or something). It wasn't running right, anyway (and I think we'd already replaced the coil once. Not to mention that my 2004 Focus handled better (the Sunfire was supposedly a sports car (GT).

Dude... the Sunfire was a rebadged Cavalier... Not one of GM's most shining moments.

But I agree, with some exceptions, Ford seems to have a much better car than the GM counter part that it is competing with. Most GM's that I have owned were electrical failures on wheels when it came to sensors or stupid electrical gremlins.

My cavalier was actually a pretty reliable hunk of garbage. Made it to 200k and I really did not maintain it. Still started up and ran perfectly fine when I gave it away.

It was like that when I found it.
I had a silver Jeep that I called the STS model. It stood for silver tool shed. It was full of tools (because it was a Chrysler product) but also had the aerodynamics of a tool shed.

Now that I think of it I could have probably gone with SSH for silver shit house based on aerodynamics. That would have been especially true if I had bought it from @Dirtman .
