Well my Northstar engined Caddy packed it in this weekend. Did it just
as I got to S&S Tire which also does repair work. They stopped counting
after reaching $4,000 in repairs 8-/. My wife's Buick Regal tossed a
rod after only 235,000 miles. So I am now driving a 2012 Fusion. Love
it. She is driving a 2011 Ketucky made Camery. Now I need to figure out
how to incorporate the CoCo into my Fusion. It is equipped with a US
port and mini stereo phone jack. That way we can get back on topic ;-).
