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...


You guys really need these devices to find your way around town?

My wife drives a lot at night and is newer to the area... I don't
think the money was wasted.

No, but when you are not around town. But then again, a good road atlas
has done me well for years.

Me too till I got old. Now to read an atlas I have to pull over, turn
on extra lights as the interiors in both cars suck, and change to my
other higher powered reading glasses. If I can't remember all the
turns, I have to do it again, and again, and again....

I knew I was in trouble when I bought a Rand McNally with the BIG print.
Of course because of the print it lacked the detail. So, I still got
lost. When I leave "town", I now use a GPS puck with my laptop, just in
case.

The odd thing is that you notice little things when driving around
town with it that you never noticed before.

It's an interesting experience.

Yeah, like when the little female voice in the TomTom starts yelling at me
to take a left when no left exists. Or ordering me to make a U-turn, over
and over.

If I help like that, I would have brought Mrs.E.

Yours does that too?

Mine does it at exactly the same place on Rt 44 - every time.
