Did you all see the news tonight from California? I Police vehicle had to get in front of a Toyota and slow it to a stop as the driver called 911 as his car was stuck at 90 MPH and he couldn't slow or stop it? Fords are looking really good to me these days.

HI ALL For my two cents i have a corvette and a avalanche they are both great cars and great mileage on the vette the avalanche is a great truck but the mileage is not seems all cars have some problems i e the nissans and toyotas in the news lately too its a mechanical device and like even phonographs can have some problems just my thoughts zono In a message dated 3/8/2010 12:41:57 P.M.
