    1. Re: [BSChat] S-10 pick-ups
    2. J. Garland
    3. My husband has a Toyota 1-ton, 1985 R2 model. Still loves it. He rebuilt (himself) the engine once. Has 200,000 miles on it. It's a 2-wheel, but he installed a trick differential and it goes anywhere. (A lot of it, he says, is just knowning what you're doing. It went mostly anywhere before the new rear-end.) He puts heavy duty tires on it so that it can truly handle a ton and it has, when moving. (But don't expect any speed going uphill on the Grapevine fully loaded.<g> It's a 4-cylinder.) We're going to replace the bench seat with buckets and a console and keep it a few more years.

That car PURRED, and although not too fast off the line, redlined at 8,000 RPM, had 90 HP, and was easy at 165 mph. I outran a Arkansas Highway patrolman about three AM once. (I had to get from Abilene Texas to Missouri in three and a half hours) I did it, but I drove BACK slowly. They freaked out when I registered it in california, th VIN number was MAZRX7003PROTO. It didn't fit their "standard codes for Mazda cars." I drove it from abilene to Chicago, and from there to Los Angeles, and I had trouble crossing the rockies, it is oil injected, and the oil line to the Carburator clogged. I had to stop in Jan's home town for repairs. The dealer freaked too. It looks just like an 1980, but NOTHING is standard under the hood. Jeffery G.

I use the mouse with my right hand, so that I can make notes with my left hand. I turn paper, and can't write on the blackboard either.

    3. Bill, they're making them again. Saw some ads on tv. I know that there was a problem with them, my husband explained it to me, and I'm hoping that the fact that they're back in production again means that they've found some better materials to work with. I've always liked the idea of the rotary engine, its simplicity, it seems like it should work really well, but it's got to be made with the right metals and parts, so it doesn't 'wear out', so to speak, too soon. I'll wait to see what happens, not going to run right out and buy one. I hate being a guinea pig. <> Jan G. > ~~ The only goof Mazda made was the rotary engine.

I was raised on one hand that happiness existed in the heart and soul and not in the pocket book, then my mother got me for awhile and taught me that happiness is the almighty dollar.

    3. My kids, for the most part, had it all...living & traveling in foreign countries, servants, private schools. And I was always handing them money for this and that, and later on, their college tuitions. I bought them their first cars...they had mega clothes. They also took piano lessons on a Grand piano, and I bought son Steve a $500.00 Gibson guitar in the 70's (one of many guitars ~oo`) Son Kyle played sports, and every time I turned around it was $150.00 for baseball & football shoes, uniforms, equipment (20) years ago. And I took my daughter to the original Woodstock, in my 240Z auto. But you know, all of that goodness from me to them, stuck. The have grown-up to be wonderful, productive adults. They are all kind, they work hard, and they own nice homes & cars....and best of all, the all adore me... their "wee Mum..." But they also fear me....I have the Scot-Irish temper... It's called "setting an example for your children." Anyway, spoil your Kade....she'll be a better girl because of it.

While I can't speak for anyone else on the site, you may rest assured that you and your extended families will be in my prayers. I will, however, share this bit of wisdom with you...none of us are ever given more than we can bare.
