      The Box

      For work: 2008 Scion xB "the box". Its great for carrying around Copystar copiers.

      On the weekends 1993 Ford Festiva. It's still getting 40+ mpg & going strong at 150K miles. I also have always driven used, until it wouldn't go no more. I've worn out 4 of these Festivas, ~200K miles each. The red one I had it "lifted" ~2" in the rear to increase the load capacity (and so it would sit level when loaded). =^..^=
      If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
      1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
      2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
      3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
      4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
      5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

          WORK: '95 Ford Windstar (17 mpg average, lol, luckily I only put about 100~150 on it monthly) and it has over 191k on it. Drivers window won't lower, small water leak, on it's second transmission, but still runs well enough to drive.

          Wife: '01 Mitsu Galant. About 162k on it.

          We don't change out cars often, usually drive them til they have to be replaced.....can't afford to upgrade very often hehehehe!! I'm a tech, lol.
