Yeah, our Explorer is old, 1991, bought it for $1900, and instead of stepping out and buying new, we just put a new engine in and fixed everything else on it. The body was perfect and the insides are fair. Between the new engine and replacing all the parts on it, and I do mean ALL, we still have not spent as much as it would of cost me to go find a 2 or 3 year old Explorer and insure it.
And because we barely drive anywhere right now, it's makes total economic sense. It's not like we live in it, and I could care less about impressing anyone with it. No car payments is just too nice. I'd rather spend money on upgrading our boat. :D Cheers, Erika -------------------------------------------------- >>| -----Original Message----- >>| From: dana tierney [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >>| Sent: Wednesday, December 01, 2004 5:10 PM >>| To: CF-Community >>| Subject: Re: Who Has The Biggest?
