had my brand new F-150 Lariat Special Edition towed back from

The brakes failed - as in F A I L E D - causing me to avoid a massive
collision by jumping a curb and heading into the pucker brush.

Then, to add insult to injury, when I restarted the engine after it
stalled out, a horrendous noise and oil smoke started to pour out from
under the hood. Brand new engine to boot.

In a nut shell, this truck is a piece of s##t. This is the sixth
major failure in 20 thousand miles.

No, I'm not buying a Toyota so don't even suggest it.

I am looking at GMC though.

Dude, I have gotten pretty good with our new Tom Tom.. You are aware
that it lags a little right. I mean, when it says "turn right now" you
are not really to the turn yet. You knew that, right?

Glad everyones all right. Talk to you later...

We used the Nuvi 200w last night for the first time. Only complaints from
wife were the volume, too loud. Figured out how to set that. Went to
settings and missed the volume button on the page before going to settings,
but has nice help file. And she does not care for the voice that is
generated. But we were to meet her brother at a Mexican restaurant and type
in the name and there it was. We took a little different route following
them and he automatically recalculated route. Daughter and Son in law
borrowed it today for a trip to Monterey and the aquarium.
