It's in the hardest to reach area with a hammer spot under the vehicle...usually on the drivers side....yeah, i've hit things with a hammer a few times myself...

Oh...are you supposed to limit hammer whacking to vehicles? :oops:

A quick scan of this thread and I see Ford drives Cosmo (to drink!) and why she drives one that won't start is cos' she is a natural environmentalist that refuses to pollute unnecessarily. 8)

It works great on Ex's....

I would suggest using a rubber mallet at first, and if that doesn't work, get out the real thing. No one can fault you for that, I mean you tried with the rubber one first...

Exactly! finally someone who follows my logic, a warning swing with the rubber mallet, and then if the issue persists, a great whack with the sledgehammer?:wink:

What Judge could argue with that?....especially if I cried? :twisted:

Of course I am, Zoof! And if the truck won't start, I'll just put my fur coat on and walk down to the damn liquor store! ;) Seriously, I do wear fur, right here in Victoria. So far, no ink.

You may be onto something though. Maybe this is the gods' way of punishing me for those damn tin cans I threw in the garbage last week! The Green Earth Gods are after me now!!

Thanks for the chuckle Cosmo. Nothing on a Ford last longer than 6 months. I am on my fourth set of Tie-rods. Did you know that Ford recalled the F150's, there is a defective part on Cruise Control. When Cruise Control is off it is still on (thus never shutting off) which causes over heating and it results in a spontanious fire. There have been over 500 cases in the USA this year. None of the fires have started when the vehicles are in operation, the fire usually starts in the driveway. There was a reguest for those of us who drive F150's not to park in under ground parking. Just for fun I hit Cruise Control as often as possible, I would love to see that hunk of Sh222t burn. Haggis, I would love a Smart Car, when I mentioned it to my other half his reply was "I have hauled bigger items than that in the truck bed" No smart car for me. Mazda Miata now that is a car!!!!

Como wears fur!

Cool!

Anyhow, I drive a 2000 KIA Sephia. Treat it like Hell, and it works very well.

Cheap, cheap on gas, reasonably peppy, and very dependable.

Yes, I think that was it. Imagine my surprise when I saw you headlined in the Green Is Us Guys newspaper this week, a full-page article with a picture of you in your fur coat, busy throwing away cans.

So, to make a long story short, the Green Earth Gods were notified and dispatched without further ado. They were actually armed with ink for the coat, but were distracted by the enormity of that super-sized truck you drive, so they improvised. You'll probably find ink in the starter.

They had some words about that paper you threw away too. And the juice bottle. :lol:

Just goes to show, tossing the tins can starter some problems, making the fur fly and the ford falter. :D

RE: What do you drive and

all this talk of volvos:

a radio show years ago listed off what your car says about you. I will always remember the volvo tag because it was such a perfect rib for a friend who drives one.

the tag is: "volvo: i am afraid of my wife".

Very funny Haggis. But I don't have a man-hood, the list needs to be feminized.

You're right about that, it does. Hey, I don't take the blame for it, though. It's that darn caracal kid, he made me post it by reminding me of the Volvo designation.

Poor Juan, it bodes ill that your cars aren't listed, you know. It might mean that you don't actually exist, you see. That would be sad, especially since we keep having conversations with you. It would mean we were talking to ourselves. Tsk.
