It must be such a blessing. 
And yes we already know that your wife is happy taking whatever you dish out to her.
She is certainly one lucky gal.
Some of us, however, live in the real world. |

She has gone thru a 201, 202 and now has a 210. However, she does mention it now and then. I was just tired of chasing parts that were obsoleted by Ford.

Obviously some of you can't read what was typed nor understand the little humor that was inserted. Oh well. Do I need to draw a cartoon for you?
Edit: OK, you wanna talk real world. Lets talk Real World. I took a hit in my 99 C280 in the driver door. The other driver T-boned me. She fared worse than I did. Now, I could make an argument for her to get a Jetta TDI because she drives 150 miles every day. 50 mpg vs her 30+ mpg, I could make it stick. However, I doubt she will be happy in a Jetta. In fact, I know she won't like it one bit. We drove one around. So, to get this 15+ mpg more, I have to pay a little more to get a Jetta. That is the good part since I will recoup my investment in a couple years. However, the bad part is that she won't like it a whit. Now, compound that with the fact that she will be in a lunchbox with wheels and might fare worse in a collision, her fault, the other party's fault, it don't matter, what is that extra safety margin worth to me? Well, money we can earn again. Body might not regenerate so easily.
