Boy you are right you are in a mood. I did not think of it that way. Honestly, the reason I bought the Expedition was that when I blew the headgasket on my 126, I needed a car that I could absorb the loss in value of the 126. What I mean is that if I had traded it (126) in before it blew the headgasket it would have been worth "X" but with a blown head gasket and likely head replacement it was worth 1/2 of X. So, I wanted a car that I could buy for that much less than its retail value on the chance that I could make up the loss in value of the 126. I bought the Expedition for $4000 less than book value. I felt like I got a great deal. It is ridiculously clean, in perfect shape, has every option available on a 2001 Expedition, and was a one owner car with a 2 inch think set of service records all from the shop I had my 126 serviced at. I admit that I knew going into it, that these big ole cars get bad mileage. I was misinformed that they would get 20 on the highway and 15 or so in town. The reality is 11-13 in town and 16-17 on the highway. I still like the car, but hate the mileage. It is a national pastime to bitch about gas mileage. So, just talk my emails up to that. As far as killing anyone with my SUV, I certainly pray that I don't and will drive accordingly. Donald H.
