Haven't been by there today though. [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > Calypso Green '93 5.0 LX AOD hatch with a few goodies > Black '03 Dakota 5.9 R/T CC Car started sputtering and stalling out when I was running real low on gas, at one point the dang thing just stopped in the middle of the road while I was turning into the parking lot at FIU. Got blasted for running out of gas, so I figured I was just dumb and let it get too low. Then it started stalling and losing power on steep turns like the on ramp to 95 at Miami Gardens when I had a 1/4 tank. Then 5th gear simply fell out and died. So, I looked up the problem on line, came to conclusion it was the fuel pump and took it to Beach Ford since it seemed there was a recall on that problem. First off, our first service rep got fired, then it took 4 weeks to get my car back. After a week they finally looked at the transition (the tech who knew how to do it had been on vacation), then ordered the part. Of course, for a week we only had one car, so that was a headache between my job, last week of school, and my mother's job, since they would not pay for a rental until the extended warranty said the work was approved (the transition work was approved, the PVC pipe was not, but I'll get back to that). We finally got a truck for a rental, so I had the Land Yacht and mom had the Dakota. Everytime we'd call, it was "the part's not in" or "the tech is on vacation." Mom and I finally went down there about a week ago and told we did were not going to pay for that rental (we'd had it over the 5 day limit, more like 14 days). Suddenly my car was fixed and waiting for me, they just had not called yet to tell us. However, since the PVC pipe wasn't under warranty, we took that over to the mechanics who handle the vehicles for my mother's office. They look at it, the PVC pipe is fine, the fuel pump over is shot to hell. So they fixed that to the tune of about 300 bucks, and that was with a break. They also told us the clutch is going to go soon, I just hope that lasts for a bit longer. So, Beach Ford is evil. Spawn of Satan. Its been added to the list of Ford dealerships we won't go to (Deel, Gus Muchado, and now Beach).... oh well... live and learn, eh? I'll probably be up there sometime tonight anyway, so I'll fuel up before it gets to fumes... patricia 00 Focus >> NW corner of University and Oakland Park had regular for 1.799 >> yesterday. Haven't been by there today though. [quoted text clipped - 43 lines] > patricia > 00 Focus Whew! Talk about bad luck. Reminds me of the runarounds I got at Sawgrass Ford when the LX was in for a new front end a few years ago. I'll never go there again. With all the horror stories I've heard, I don't think I'd ever go to a dealer in Dade either. If you're up to it, write a letter to the General Manager of Beach Ford describing the incident. Tell him/her that you basically got taken for a ride by the dealership and you will not only never go there again, but you'll tell everybody you can to avoid them like the plague because they're incompetent and untruthful. You may or may not get a response, but I'll tell you it felt damn good to write that letter and send it off. If nothing else, it's a small bit of satisfaction. Just for kicks, cc it to Ford Corporate and show that on the GM's copy. Might get their attention a little better. If you're looking for a reputable Ford dealer, you might try Plantation Ford. I've had the LX in there for lots of stuff over the years and they've done me right every time. A bit expensive, but you get what you pay for. They rebuilt my AOD years ago and it's been great ever since. For general stuff, I've been taking the LX and the Shoebox ('96 MPV) to EF Tire & Auto up in Pompano on Federal. Heard their commercials a gazillion times on Zeta when Paul & Ron were on there, so I figured I'd try them. No problems at all. Good work, fast (usually one day, two days max), resonably priced. Been going there for a few years now. At any rate, I hope the Focus is back to normal and your car troubles are over for the time being. When the clutch goes, try EF Tire. They're decent. HTH.

I paid $1.77 for 87 octane. : HAPPY NEW YEAR! About $1.58 for regular in the Atlanta area. And what bites is that that seems like a good deal! Paul 87 dropped below $2 for the first time in a long time here in SoCal, land of the spcially formulated gas that gets into out water tables. I guess that's special as in "the short school bus" special. Greetings and happy new year. Current UK gas prices ?0.81 per litre. I thnk that equates to around $5.50 per gallon.

Up here we have the Liberals (these are the folks that think you can spend your way out of debt)...... we have the Conservatives (more to my liking but sometimes too reserved) and everything in between - including (are you ready) the Marijuana Party (self explanatory)..... the Green Party (mostly tree huggers)..... the Rhinocerous Party (a lot of good ideas but they just like to have fun with it)..... the Communist Party (what they're doing in a democratic election, I'll never know).... BTW, the Liberals are those fun folks that are trying to run the national gun registry so that some day they can call my long guns illegal and take them away. FWIW, it's a chilly one here today..... -30ish with a stiff breeze.

Down here we have the liberals (Democrats) who believe in paying for government expenditures with adequate taxes and who ran a surplus in their last administration, and then we have the (so-called) conservatives (Republicans) who believe "deficits don't matter" (in the words of VP Cheney), and who are running record deficits in the current administration. SignatureCut "to the chase" for my email address. Sounds like a mirror image of what we get.... The liberals have been in (federal) power for much too long.... Taxes go up, they run a defecit budget (spend more than they get) and we have nothing to show for it (other than the gay marriage thing.... wow, where do I sign up???). Here in Alberta, our provincial (Conservative) government has eradicated the provincial debt, run consecutive surplus budgets and is fighting to save social programs. What I still can't understand is that (on both sides of the border) we continue to pay sports figures (read as stick and/or ball types) much more than we pay those running our respective countries. I imagine that might have something to do with the difficulty in keeping honest people honest... Have a happy and safe new year, anyway. > > Kate.... your political parties have goofy names and I can't figure out who > > stands for what...

Bitching/worrying about it has absolutely no effect. The ONLY thing you can do is drive a fuel efficient car OR if you choose to drive a gas guzzler, drive it in a manner that conserves gas.
