'Ya, I get fired up and about that time I get pumped full of chemo again and then get really passive.. and become a caveman for 4-5 days, and then get normal again. Hospitals can be really really depressing places.
I see so many YOUNG people there for Cancer treatments. 30s, 40s male & female. New Jersey is a hot bed for cancer. If you get to age 68 or so, without geting cancer, you will NOT get it. It strikes mostly betweeen 45 and 65 with an average of 55 ! It's a bear to get rid of.
Most of us will never get rid of it - just keep it ay bay, by destroying
cells.

HHmmm. 2 trannies and 2 motors in the Toyota?

Sold a 1993 Ford Escort in Jan. 2004. Had 181,000 trouble free miles on it. Only fixed the A/C once. 2 sets of brakes. 3 sets of tires. I still have the original tires and rims!! Went to a bigger rim. The car is still on the road! We see it once in a while. Someday I'll follow it and see what the present mileage is.

Gave a 1997 Ford Expedition to my stepdaughter in Jan. 2007. It had 214,000 trouble free miles on it! 2 sets of brakes. Replaced 1 warped rotor. 3 sets of tires. Cooper's last forever. The vehicle now has way over a quarter million miles. No major problems and the damn thing gets good mileage. 23-24.9 overall on trips and better than my wife's Ford escape in the city. My stepdaughter is amazed by the mileage.

I have a 1979 Chevy Suburban Silverado 4 x 4 with over 400,000 miles on it. 1 valve job. 1 set of main bearings. 1 tranny rebuild. God only knows how many tires and brakes. But Star Trailbuster tires lasted 150K + miles and I gave them to my son, who put even more miles on them.

My 65 T'Bird has 123,000+ but it was restored 10 years ago. Full engine rebuild 2 years ago. New brakes but looks and runs like new.

Toyota? Nissan? Mitsubishi? Honda? Kia? Hyundai? Show up at my house in one and you won't get any work from us! Been a couple companies found that out.

lol... well i guess i can be to blame for needing the trans and the motor. when i was young i was a bit hard on her...

i dont think i would buy another camry because i get tulips MPG. but this one was free. the best price.

the good news is it cost me only $800 and 5 months to rebuild the motor in the 2.2L toyota. with lots of new parts.

I was ALWAYS a MOPAR-MAN, as were my parents, cousins & aunt. Then after 1978 we all began drifting away. I more/less went to Ford, owning 3 consective Lincolns & 3 asc McLarns, interspaced with my (still have her....10,000 mile) '93 Sixty Special Caddy.
