   While not the Meansest wrench in town in my younger uears i was pretty   
   good. Did everything except automatic transmision work.   
   In fact I would select my next Used car, the last New car I bought was a   
   1961 Ford Falcon, from the Consumer Reports WORST used car list.   
   Nowdays I cannot even change my own oil because of an inner ear problem   
   but with the Computerized Nightmare engine control systems I don't think   
   I woudl enjoy working on cars nearly as much.

   I still follow the market and an impressed with how Ford is doing.   
   Far better then what I call GM Junk or Chrysler Crap.

   I caught the "Got Milk" ad. Very good one
