Dog was considerably cheaper....but factor in airfare, lodging, car, and food for 3 and it adds up quick. My share alone was about $3500. A lot of the expense was the crappy exchange rate on the Euro. Everytime I gassed the car I was in $100....and we did a LOT of driving.

So your diesel powered econo-wagon was not only faster than an L98, but less expensive to drive?

Auch du lieber !

Nice to have you back. Ever notice how the Cat gets roasted when he's away, but we take it easy on the dog? that's what staying in touch while you're on the road does, just sayin there Sweetsie.

Yes. Quite a peppy little booger....I was surprised. It did have some strange attributes. If you put it in neutral at a stoplight and let off the clutch, in about 5 seconds the engine shut off (presumably as a fuel saving measure). Once you put the clutch back in, it restarted by itself. It also didn't sound like a diesel....I've had noisier gas engines. Ford knocked it out of the park on this car.

Yes....there is a reason I check in on the road. I know full well if I don't, I have nobody but myself to blame for the result.

Take a hint there Sweet, next time you go south, check in or we can't be held responsible for the results.

Yes, and he called me out yesterday in the CF under one of his aliases. He posted three pictures of cars using a plate with GNXTREME. A Mustang, a C5 and a C4. The thread was deleted by a mod. I only congratulated him because he learn how to post pictures and I welcomed him to 1998.

Like it matters Jon. I'm in so many Mexican sandwiches, that even I lose count. Besides, I wouldn't want to take away the "Doggie Piling On The Cat" posts you boneheads love so dearly.

Another "out of the park thread" Friz, glad your back safe. Too bad your sis and bro didn't get a Chihuahua from Mexico back in the 80's it would have been much cheaper and you might have seen Sweets in a cantina scratching a post with one paw and a margarita in the other.

That would have saved me a fortune in air fare.
