    For all of you whom don't know, I drive a 1998 Ford Escort. Good Gas Mileage? No. Good HP? lol, No. Good Car? Heck no.

    My front left and back left balljoints are making major noise, my rear axle makes a creaking noise whenever I shift, my tranny is going poopy, and yesterday I spilt Arizona Fruit Punch on my roof, which ran down my back window.

    So, I've decided I will bring it out to a field and light it on fire, or throw rocks at it. Just take out all of my frustration out on it since it's given me nothing but hardships.

    Plus, it's more reason for me to get a Saab or Subaru. Eh?

    Any idea's how to kill this thing faster?

    Go as fast as you can then slam it into reverse ? That should be good for a giggle.

    EDIT - Rats !

    Just make sure it doesn't have a rare engine first.

    Very true. I've been to the EP Open House days for the last couple of years. The burning car demo always draws a crowd.

    I'll talk to Tim today when I'm over at the shop checkin' out the car. I bet he can think of some pretty stupid **** to do. He finds ways to amaze everyone.
