    Car designs suck

    Well that is surprising (well to me at least) it seems to me most "off road" vehicles now really put an emphasis on luxury and car like interiors. I wouldn't pay half the money either for a new Bronco, but I'd pay that same sum for a brand new IH Scout if I could.

    And I bet I knew the salesman that your parents bought that electric separator from! I still have the International Harvester refrigerator that my parents bought fron the same gentleman. The fridge is still keeping my beer cold in my garage. 74 years old and still hasn't missed a beat.
