Kinda reminds me of a co-worker I had. In December of 1987, I bought a brand new 1988 Mercury Cougar with the 3.8 V6 engine. My co-worker never let me hear the end of how my car had an old fashioned "overhead valve" engine. It was "sooooo passe...." blah,blah, blah. A few months later, he purchased a new Pontiac Grand Am with the high-tech (at the time) Quad4 engine. He boasted about how great his car was. From the very first week, he had problems with it. About once a month, almost like clockwork, his coils would fail. The first couple of times he told me about it, but after that I only knew it was happening when the dealer would give him a loaner car for a day and I would see it in the parking lot. His wife wouldn't take it anywhere because she was afraid of a a breakdown. He traded that car off about a month before the warranty expired. I sure hope the next owner looked at the repair record of that car before they purchased it. His wife liked new cars every couple of years and after that, she was driving a Mercury Cougar. Why? Because my car went to 300K miles without a valve cover or oil pan ever taken off. The heads that were on my car with taken off and refreshed and are still being used on my daughter's car. While I don't hold a grudge off of a single car, that guy no longer drives a GM product.

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
