I'm just saying you know what every rumble, shimmy, shake, fizzle and weird condition that your fleet produces. You're sensitive...........and you know it!
Moon Unit: Hey Frank
Frank: Hey hon, when I pulled you in last night I felt a tremble, sorry for the cheap gas I'll make it up to you when we go out this weekend
Moon Unit: Thanks darling, and you know I'm due for a tire rotation. I'm the best one, aren't I Frank?
Frank: Yes you are. You always post the big number ( mpg that is ) Don't tell the others, they might get jealous

@ Frank Lee
Any person who owns 1. All Fords and 2. An old school Gold Wing can probably sense when the next tsunami will hit and where with pinpoint accuracy.

Man, I wish I was good enough to sense which cylinder of Moon Unit's has the stumbly injector! As it is, I have to go through and troubleshoot the injectors individually like all the other Neanderthals.

You have the Vulcan 3.0, right? Shouldn't be that hard to diagnose. Then again I'm the type that would pull all 6 and send them down to RC Engineering to get them cleaned and balanced. How many miles do you have on her?
I have had plenty of Fords over the years and Chryslers so my ears have gotten hypersensitive.

It's that 24v 3.0 with the Yamaha bits. The back three are a real joy to get to.

Ouch, I am so sorry. I thought you were the type not to get that fool thing. Only reason I ever got a Seville was it had low miles and the HT4900. Wouldnt touch the Northstar because of the, meh, INCONVENIENCES when it comes to working on it.

I'm NOT the type to get that fool thing, but the deal sucked me in.
I'd never been a Chrysler guy in my life until a few years back when the deal lead me into a Dynasty (with the Mitsu engine). Pretty decent car, I think, although I wonder what it is about Chryslers weighing about a ton more than any of their competitors no matter what model it is.

A free lemon is still a money pit. My worst car was a Mitsubishi/Chrysler = DSM badged as a 1G Eagle Talon Turbo. It would have been a disaster even if someone had paid me to take it.
