Ive been on call all day today. Patrick has dads Mercedes fixing it and dad is driving the 93 explorer..

Saturday he hit the brake pedal and it didn't stop, thank goodness no one was in front of him. So he took it to Midas and had all the brakes done plus new master cylinder.

Did fine monday and tuesday then he calls this morning and says the lights wont turn off and has no clue what he did. I drive over to the restaurant and the automatic mode was set so turned that off. Then 2 hours later i get a call he has a flat, so go change that then a hour later he calls again and said the drivers door wont close. 10 Mins and had that fixed.

Hopefully tomorrow and friday goes well!

Hes 83 years old and drove the same vehicle for the last 12 years everyday. He don't like change

Hey -- at 83 I just hope I'm still driving!

My mom is 87 and still drives, although not very well. She basically backs up until she hits something and then shifts her car into "D" and motors away. When she moved into her new townhome this summer, I told all the little kids on her street that if they see her get in the car, get the heck back in your driveway and wait until she drives away......

Interesting read. Seems like Dodge isn't going to have anything left!

He still does a pretty good job driving, the suv has a few little bumps on it but not bad at all for a 99. He told me the other day he probably needs to drive it a little better, he still likes to put the pedal to the floor when leaving the red lights. I can only imagine

Worst thing about vacationing is being worried about getting these little buggars and bringing them back to the house....

I have determined that the Ecoboost is a gateway truck to a diesel. I can't get enough of the low end torque and turbo whistle, and I'm seriously wanting a diesel. Just wonder if I'll still feel it when I trade in 3-5 years.
