Spree Motor-cycle-analysis

Post by Wheelman-111 »

Greetings:

In the interest of saving time and brick and mortar cost of setting up a Psychiatry practice, I'll trim psychoanalysis to its bare essence:

Quoth Bear:
You guys real worry me when I pay attention to what you are saying.
1. What do You think that means?

2. How long have you felt that way?

3. What would your mother have thought about that?

That'll be $150, please. :) (Flash needs a new Variator...)

I see you have been in therapy before. Image You probably ought to try it again. Tell your therapist that you have a "Scooter Addiction" that is way to expensive. But careful the the doc doesn't say something like;

And looking into things more the Fiats cost less than Minis in the EU. Yay!

Plus Ford is rumored to be bringing the Ka into North American markets. The Ka uses the diesel motor manufactured and used by Fiat. Options!

Heres the Ka:

nonsense, I have been waiting for a diesel focus but Ford says it is not economical to bring the engines over from great britain :cry:

Yeah, I forgot to mention that after further research the diesel Fords will not be in our market. If the Ka was released here it would be the gasser only :(

Around here a car the size of a Fiat would not cut it. One run in with a deer; happens about every 5 years on average and the passengers would be toast. The mileage would be nice. I wonder how long they last before rusting out. When they were last imported the would last only a few years before body cancer set in.

The best car going for me is a Ford Econoline. When I purchased this one 5 years ago, I looked for the Diesel version but couldn't find one for even $6000 more, so I got the 5.4 V8. Runs smooth and quiet. Great viability. You can see over traffic.

It holds anything; last summer coming back from our farm we had 4 motorcycles, 3 dogs, camping gear, guns, ammo and more. On another trip we carried 8 people in it and still had room for 3 more.

A friend's dad had an econoline for awhile. Almost fit our whole bball team in it :thumbsup:

Also glad we don't need to salt the roads here. That plus no emissions means you can see some pretty cool old cars driving around.
