Ouch, you mean Harry lied about weighing 160 lbs?

No. He was referring to his rugby weight in the 60's.

Krause has bragged that he was called "Harry the Horse" while being
schooled in Kansas.


Probably because he got taken for a ride so much :-)

You do look kind of spindly and brittle, though, John. If I were you,
I'd be careful about mouthing off in front of your high school classes.
One of those kids could take you out with a single bitch-slap.


I bet he bought thet yellow V8 Mustang....to look cool and be accepted
by the teenage students.


Hey Don!! Careful......I am an old guy and I like that yellow V-8
Mustang.
I think it looks damn good!

It's a cute car, no question about it. But to see an old fart like
Herring driving one? What an absurdity.

I really think Ford makes the best line of "American" cars now. I like
GM's full-size pickups and the 'vette, but I think Ford has the best
lineup of "car" cars.

My wife is out in far western Virginia right now, driving north from the
Carolinas in her Ford.

I don't know how or why Chrysler stays in business.



Ford/Mercury: Focus, Fusion, Taurus, 500, Crown Vic, Mustang, GT, Milan,
Monetgo, Sable.

Chrysler/Dodge: 300, PT Cruiser, Sebring, Crossfire, Neon, Stratus,
Viper, Charger, Magnum

There are two from Ford/Mercury that I would ever consider buying and
one is too expensive. There are five from Chrysler/Dodge with one that
is also too expensive.

I agree with you about GM's cars with the addition of the XLR and maybe
the SSR.

Having purchased three full-size pickups in the last year for my
business, I have to give my vote to Ford for price for the product. I
could never understand how a truck from Dodge or GM would cost so much
more than a F150.

Up here, they sell a lot of Chyrsler mini-vans. The base models can
be bought for $ 19k CDN before taxes.
The Toyota Sienna is much better vehicle but at $30K CDN.... a tad
expensive.


Ahh, the minivan. Yes. I forgot about those. Not my taste.


My Acura MDX was manufactured in Montreal. It's a nice vehicle that I
really enjoyed for the three year lease. It's based loosely on the
Odyssey minivan they build at the same plant.

By the time you replace the transmission in the Chyrsler five times you are
even with the Toyota, this is all within the first three years.

I bought a 1995 Plymouth Voyager mini-van new in March 1995.
I've put 125000 km on it since and I've only had two things done in the
10.5 years I've had it.
Early on there was an acknowledged problem with some small part that let
the vehicle roll forward when you were backing out of a forward sloping
area (my driveway). That was fixed for free by an adjustment...with a
promise to replace a part if problem continued...it didn't.
When I started planning to travel, pickup & trailer back a sailboat
within 80% of the vehicle's max towing capacity, I decided to install a
transmission cooler.
That's it...except for a few transmission fluid changes.
I have the 3 speed auto, which was more reliable than the 4 speed in
that model year.

He does seem to respond less, to you. I can see you're trying very
hard to befriend him. I can't understand his reluctance to be more
responsive.

Maybe he'll like you better now that you've been 'outed' by Don.

Ah...the Great Facilitator at work.

Don,
I love your snippage to make sure only the appropriate part of my message
remains.

I promise I won't hold anything against you, will you just hold this soap
bar for me.

Isn't that an over-sexed Pilot, at twice the cost?

I bought it before the Pilot was announced. Twice the cost? I don't
think you can get a Pilot for $19K.

What do you mean by "over-sexed"? The Acura had standard leather seats,
power everything, memory seats, mirrors, etc, Homelink, 6-CD in dash
changer, etc. I have no idea what you get standard with the Pilot.

I think we have to contact Ripley's. This thread must have broken some kind
of record. Honestly, there are some of us who could care less about your politics
and personal quips. It's a shame that you are using up a good site name like rec.boats
to bore us to tears.
