Hubby took my car back to the dealership this morning.  He stood at the counter and listed off everything that was wrong and then asked the service manager how he thought hubby knew all this.  It wasn’t like he expected an answer, so he continued by telling the service manager that not only was he a qualified mechanic, but that he was Ford trained ( Read more... )

I gave my car to Ford today for a 45,000 km service.  One would expect one’s car to run better after said service (that cost almost $1000), wouldn’t one?  Mine is running worse!  A lot worse!

It’s only had two owners and the last owner has only had it for a couple of months - he ( Read more... )

Wow I must have needed some sleep desperately!  I’d promised my girls that we’d watch the Heath Ledger Tribute together (some really nice commentary followed by A Knight’s Tale and The Patriot) last night.  Well, I struggled to make it through A Knight’s Tale and failed completely with The Patriot.  I guess I really shouldn’t watch tv while lying ( Read more... )
