I knew about the high priced keys, but of course that's the same with many other makes and models, too. I did not know about the wiper blades. Of course both of my Fords are 2001 models and I've replaced the wiper blades myself 2 or 3 times; just get them at Walmart or AutoZone. And the Windstar came with the keypad on the door. I had one installed on the Ranger; didn't need it, just wanted it, so that was $149.95 and a remote clicker was $45.44. I didn't like that, but didn't figure it would be any better with another make.

I choked when I had to pay $30 to replace a key for my Chevy Lumina. I about went balistic when I heard that the ford key was $80. Incidentally, I think the remote clicker is still in that $50 range.

I always replace my own wiper blades too. I tried every store in town and they all said the same thing, "Oh wait... these won't fit. I guess you have to get those from the dealer". I even went to some service stations just out of principle. I would have paid a service station to put them on rather than pay the dealer's extortion fees. When my wife finally caved on me and took the car to the dealer she informed them that if she was paying $40 for wiper blades, they were going to put them on for her.

I like have a fiesty lady sometimes.

So now you can tell us what this is all about???

 

[Podunkadunk]

Hey Podunk, how's your count going?
Would love to know what you are collecting this information for.

Can't reveal that information at this point. It would skew the results. I know what you're thinking...how could it skew the results if Podunk just posted that he has all the information he needed? Well, I can't tell you that. Let's just say there will be a part II at a later date. The question in this thread will be pertinent to the next question/vote/poll. It's a two part series.

Would that be the same Bat time on the same Bat channel

 

[3RRL]

At least tell us when (approx) the later date will be.

All he wanted was to see how many reponders would answer the question correctly. Look at his post; most did NOT answer as asked; I would say we failed this one.

The OP said "just the make please" & "don't need the model". Since when is
a TBN post restricted to the narrow limits of the OP? Noone failed here and
there is no "correct" response. Most interesting are the posts from those
who can remember all the vehicles they have ever owned, IMO.

Well, if that's what he wanted; i.e., to answer ONLY what he asked, then I blew that big time, didn't I?

Not really, You answered truthfully, to the best of your knowledge;
I lied!!

 

[txdon]

, you thought it was going to be something else, nope.

Taking a Poll/Vote to see what you and your spouse/significant other are driving (make of your vehicle, don't need the model). Don't need anything more, no reasons or explanations as it could turn politikal and Lord forbid grown men get politikal!!!!

Again, just the "make" please.

I'm doing a paper and this is "research".


Wife and I : Toyota

So that means there should be only two vehicle makes mentioned and if going by his example give which one each is driving, otherwise he would not have had to use the "Wife and I" in the example?

You could be right, the following of instructions could have been the survey.

 

[Iplayfarmer]

So, I'm sure I'm not the only one who has wondered if we're going to be let in on what the "research" is.

You willing to share with us yet, Podunkadunk?

I'll bite.

Wife and I - Toyota.

Guess which one drives the pickup, and which one hates to drive the pickup?

I think he is busy helping charitable organizations organize their donations.
