There once was a poster named Mr. M. L.
Who rose to the to top and then fell.
And while he thought he was first
it was always the worst
for top is where dragon does dwell.

Figured this would be a good place to post a little bit of Tolkien slander
Can't fawn over him ad nauseam after all.

Quest ends cause he went with ford. Hobbits found on road dead.

F. O. R. D. is not well represented by your statement

Too bad...I've owned too many FORDs. Never again.

Is it because they're just too afFORDable?

If buying car repairs is afFORDable.

They are, especially if you do it yourself.

Hmmm...that might be a path to having them cost even more. I'll just avoid FORD and have less of them.

Works for me, I have no attachment to Fords. You won't brake my heart.

Don't steer yourself in the wrong direction, I agree, but for a classic car they're fine. (Pre computer). I have an old truck that there's literally nothing to break.

Unfortunately, bears anecdotal experience cannot erase a long history of bad Fords… or is that the other thread?
For the amount of money you folks spend on your car repairs, I have already purchased a high-end, sturdy Dutch bicycle which with minimal care can last me two decades of frequent use.

Its our plan for world domination. Well send all countries free fords and let them bankrupt themselves to on car repairs.

Yes but the last day of good use is the tricky part. Seriously speaking, riding a bicycle or motorcycle here is suicidal. It's not safe at all.
I don't spend much on my vehicle repairs partly because I only drive 2400 miles a year and partly because I haven't taken a car in for repair since I was 21 and that's only because I didn't have the time as I was deep in my undergrad work and a nearly full time job, it was a transmission rebuild and of course now I know you never do that, always replace with an already rebuilt one, cheaper at any rate, but I have done that myself since. I was a certified mechanic for about 2 years but thankfully college led me to cleaner jobs. Anywho, being a mechanic means you have to buy all your own tools and short of a lift I have everything. Given youtube and forums it was never a issue not having the shop manuals.
For sure, in terms of cycling we are blessed here with flat land and world-class infrastructure. In a big country where places are far and few between and trains can't easily pick up a car's slack where a bike doesn't suffice, I might look into owning a car as well. Instead I'll just let my driver's license see bi-annual use
As for fixing cars, wouldn't know the half of it. I'll just assume it is magic, like I do with most tech.

For the price of two sturdy (albeit small) legs, I can go anywhere! No repairs needed. Not yet anyway. Very low cost.
