Well, my 94 F150 4x4, 6cyl. 5 spd, rubber floor mats, no headliner cheapo has
about 106,000 showing on the odometer. One clutch, one break job, three,
count em three heater cores, and one set of tires at 80,000! Oh yeah, one
alternator, one power steering pump, both after 100,000 miles, and a stupid
slave clyinder thats INSIDE the stupid bell housing!
I communte about 50 miles a day round trip, and use it to get up the mountain
to the cabin we are builing in NM.
I say 106K showing on the odometer...did you know that one of the fuses
controls the odometer?
I'm satisfied, but I'm looking for a new commuter to put the PU aside for
hauling only. I think I'll end up with a new Beetle, but the new Mini looks
interesting. I just refuse to pay over dealer list...and acutually think
that is too much. Anyone know if the Mini is available as a rental in Europe
yet?

because your character is what you really are, while your reputation
is merely what others think of you.
