Hey Jen, I love Mustangs and had one years ago.
My first car was a 1935 Dodge coupe. I learned how to do everything from the brakes on up. I even painted and reupholstered it.
Now I have a VW Jetta diesel that requires service every ten thousand miles. I wouldn't touch anything under the hood other than the dipstick. So much for personal car maintenance.
I miss the good old days when a car was almost like a lover, something that needed lots of tinkering.

I did my own work years ago, but now you have to be a genius
with a computer plugged into it.

Most cars now are computers with a car built around it. I remember when fixing a starter motor was 35 bucks and two bolts. Now...800 bucks!
PS '35 coupe-very cool

Like Pelosi says, We'll find out what is in the Health Care bill after we pass the Health Care bill.

President Barack Obama?s health care law would let several million middle-class people get nearly free insurance meant for the poor, a twist government number crunchers say they discovered only after the complex bill was signed.

That?s because, in a major change from today, most of their Social Security benefits would no longer be counted as income for determining eligibility.

Medicare chief actuary Richard Foster says the situation keeps him up at night.

?I don?t generally comment on the pros or cons of policy, but that just doesn?t make sense,? Foster said during a question-and-answer session at a recent professional society meeting.

It?s almost like allowing middle-class people to qualify for food stamps, he suggested.

?This is a situation that got no attention at all,? added Foster. ?And even now, as I raise the issue with various policymakers, people are not rushing to say ? we need to do something about this.?

Obama - "Republicans support tax breaks for corporate jets at the expense of children and the elderly."

Who's paying for your jet Mr. President? Last year you flew Air Force One 172 times - almost every other day, at a cost of $181,757 per flight hour. Not to mention your 196 helicopter trips. And this year and next, the tax payers will pay for him to fly even more as he campaigns.

And if corporate jets are such a problem, WHY DID HIS STIMULUS PACKAGE INCLUDE TAX BREAKS FOR BUSINESSES TO BUY THEIR OWN PLANES?

He needs to STFU, and stop trying to spend us into oblivion and work with republicans to cut spending. The House has already voted not to raise the debt ceiling while continuing to do business as usual. So get over it BO. You're not going to raise the debt ceiling without big spending cuts.

Dear Tracy Coxx
Have you not learned yet that stating facts is so infuriating to those that can't see them?

( I gotta find a jet that will get me to Texas.)
