I Hate Fords

Have you ever done the same stupid mistakes over and over and over again? My whole life has been nothing but that! I hate fords, but I tend to buy them, but not by choice. I'm stuck with a ford truck that has never ran properly from day one. I think it had a small leaking head gasket which turned into a very large leaking head gasket. It's to the point where it would be a fortune to fix. I'm in a situation where I need a new vehicle but financially I can't afford another vehicle right now. I love Chevy's but used ones where I live are way over priced, even for a beat up car or truck that's ready to die. So, a co-worker is moving to to West Virginia and has to sell his 1986 Ford Bronco 2. I said to him I would buy it, but all I had was $300. I was thinking he would laugh, but he said if I wanted it was mine. Oh wow I thought, if it runs good I'll take it. I checked the engine compression, transmission, etc . other than the body work (some rust and a few other minor things) I thought it was a steal. I did notice it had an oil leak. I looked at it and thought... I can fix that..... F***ing WRONG!!!!
I fixed the same thing on my father in Laws72 Chevy pick up in 6 hours. 4 days later with the Bronco 2 and its worst. It took an entire day just to get every thing off. When I put every thing back on (2 days later. I noticed I had a very small leak from a bolt on the water pump. I tightened it. SNAP!!!! went the bolt. I spent the next day drilling out the end of the bolt stuck in the water pump. Impossible to get to. When I finished drilling out the bolt, I then put a case hardened threader to re thread the hole for the bolt. I then SNAPPED that off. I finally get every thing off. I fix the hole and put the water pump back on. I start the Bronco and now the place that was leaking is now spewing water out faster. I reach under and the bolt is not tightened at all. I tightened the bolt and guess what??!!!!! SNAP!!! the same place where i snapped off the last bolt it snapped off again. guess what?? I'm doing it all over again tomorrow. Will I ever learn? I have worked on all kinds of cars and I do have to say fords are put together so strange. I would like to smack the people who actually design these parts. They are morons!!!!! When I get this fixed I'm selling it for a profit ( I hope) Then I am buying a Chevy!!

My Favorite Blog

If any body has even read my blog, other than the friends I've told about. You Know I write like an idiot. I'm not proud, but I'm honest. Actually when I type I accidentally hit the wrong button and something spews from my printer while I look puzzled at it. The look I give my printer doesn't make it stop. Oh well.....I'll just live with it.
I have a friend/In law that I have admired his writing. Definitely his reviews of movies are top notch and he should be a writer for a major newspaper or magazine. You need to go and read that... here's his blog merlintwizard.blogspot.com check it out you wont be disappointed.
