mike checks his shorts - volume 2

wtf...

so on monday, i bought a brand new silver Ford Explorer XLT. not super-pimp, but it's pretty nice. I drove it off the lot with 24 miles on it. last night, as the odometer ticked 81 miles, my troubles began. the transmission started slipping. i completed my errand and was on my way to take it in when BANG! something fell off the car and all the warning lights came on. i again pulled over and checked my shorts to ensure that i had not shit myself. i thought i had blown another rod. fortunately, the car kept running and got me to the dealer. seriously, 81 miles?!

now i'm sure you're saying, "hey dumbass, your old ford engine just blew up, and you bought a new one? retard." well, two things brought me back.

the first: i love how ford's handle and this is what got me to even consider them. i just wish they could build a damn engine/transmission that would work for a while. the second was that they sponsored the ironman. it's stupid, i know, but it worked on me. i was originally trying to find an ironman edition explorer but there were no new ones in the state of illinois.

ford tough...yea, tough as a the back of my nutbag.
