Yeah Doug, that could help. Why didn't they just make them better in the first place? New & Improved my ass!

They want to sell new ones... they make em crap and then it's easy to improve... Makes you think well this one sucks I wish they would fix (insert item here) you see the "New and Improved" so you automatically think they fixed what you wanted fixing.... Keeps you coming back for more

I can make you feel a little better about your day by letting you know how mine went, just got back from having 5K worth of work done to the car only to find it needs another $1300 and I get home to a note telling me to call the guy that just ran into the back of my new truck! never mind my super helpfull wife fed the fish (big chunk of frozen mysis) before heading off to work, it somehow made it into the overflow and plugged the drainline, did I mention the sump used to hold 250 gallons, I aint even cleaning it up, just opened the door and let it run outside. I need a drink.

Holy Crap! You make my powerhead problem kind of redundant. Not the new truck? That sucks. How much damage?

Small ding in the bumper and pushed it in just far enough to F-up the paint on the corner, now to fight with ICBC over repairs. on a positive note I tend to buy myself something nice when I get depressed, question is Shelby GT500 or SRT Challenger

The Shelby! I've always been partial to Mustangs. I've owned two of them and lately have been thinking about looking for a stock '67 GT I had one years ago and loved that car.
