Correct. And also comparing the highly touted Honda quality against the
two
Fords... in my case the Fords win hands-down. Other's experience may
differ. But I'll probably never put another Honda in my driveway. I'll
buy
another Ford.

Borrow a car and drive behind your Ford a year from now. If you don't
notice
anything, stop at a convenience store, buy a bag of ice and pour it down
your pants. Get back in the car and follow your Ford for another 15
minutes.
If you still don't notice anything, go home. You are clinically dead. Have
yourself buried.


Funny... I just had an occasion to do just that. I drove behind my 1998
Ford Explorer, the one that is 7 years old and has 120k miles on it. And I
did notice something... that it looked like most other cars on the road. It
didn't smoke, lurch, track sideways, vibrate, nothing. It didn't
distinguish itself in any way... it went about its job of being a vehicle in
a competent, workman-like manner.

It doesn't leak, rattle, whine... nothing. Original motor, tranny,
everything. The only problem it has is the power antennae quit working
about two months ago. Still looks like new inside and out. Has needed one
brake job, one set of tires, and I replaced the shocks with some higher
performance ones because I wanted them.

So back to you, Kanter... how can you be perfectly lucid in the previous
post, then so off the wall and obtuse in this one? Are you drinking or
smoking late at night? Would you sober up for a moment and explain your
nonsense?
