twintornados 1,415 Report post Posted July 27, 2018 (edited) So, the lovely better half has decided that she no longer likes her 2015 Subaru Forester due to recent events with the car....first, the "check engine" light came on with a scant 179 miles to go on the bumper to bumper warranty. Turns out, there is a TSB out for of all things, the alternator and tensioner pulley that it creates a pulse that triggers the check engine light. (Yeah, I know...odd indeed) No issue there, it was all taken care of under warranty and we were on our way. Then, a few weeks later ,the back brakes begin squeaking...take a peek - lo and behold, she needs back brakes...now the car is hesitating under acceleration from a stop...she stated (and I wrote it on the calendar) "You were right, I should've bought a Ford." Long story short, tonight we pick up her new 2018 Escape SE.... She had three Escapes (2001, 2005, and 2010) previous to swerving into Subie-ville......

If she truly said "you were right," you probably need to make her your wife! 3 NLPRacing, twintornados and fuzzymoomoo reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If she truly said "you were right," you probably need to make her your wife! And don't get used to it. That's probably the last time you'll hear that. 3 fordmantpw, twintornados and fuzzymoomoo reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We were both married previously...I like her whole attitude of, "Everybody should be married....once!!" 1 fordmantpw reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
akirby 7,324 Report post Posted July 27, 2018 . We were both married previously...I like her whole attitude of, "Everybody should be married....once!!" My buddy used to introduce his wife as "This is my first wife Debbie". Last I heard they were still married after 30+ years. 2 fordmantpw and twintornados reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
