Shitty throttle body ........mkay, so you mean it either leaks, or sticks, or........??

Because otherwise it's not that complex of a part......

If anything, the duratec is simpy loud & obnoxious.......but that's due to valvetrain noise..

Ford junk....

Ford & Chrysler should just buy all their engines & trannies from GM, seriously..

Handles great BUT
Shits coils.....
Engine likes to grenade (exhaust\precat design)
Depending on year...shitty PCV design (shout out to VW\Audi)

Should be on the avoid list for any used car shopper

Shit Avery, it sounds like the REAL advice you should give is NOT to get into the insurance game in the first place!!!! I've gotten at least a dozen Insurance Sales offers in the last couple years and they go right into the trash! Intangible sales FTL!

BTW I'm honestly sorry if this got too personal but truth be told on average, a guy could buy two or three cars with what most suckers end up paying in child support over 18 years. I have seen people pay out enough per month to easily make a payment on a new bike/car. My best financial advice is to get fixed!

Yeah, insurance sales is a bitch. It can be highly profitable, but a guy needs to go at it very cautiously, which means limiting all expenses as much as possible the first few years. Probably really need to start out with 2 years expenses saved up in order to make it at the game.

No worries, my feelings aren't hurt. I'm well aware of the reality of my situation. And you're correct, I could have a very nice car (or several bikes) with what I pay in child support. It's fucking ridiculous.

Cool, I didn't want to appear too harsh, just honest. Hopefully, our boy avoids what I like to call, "the one financial pitfall Dave Ramsey doesn't address", ie having kids! I don't really know if people truly understand just how expensive the little rugrats are or how much better their lives would be financially if they didn't have them. Seriously, two are not as cheap to take care of as one, etc. If people planned having kids out even on tenth as much as D.R. wants them to plan to buy a house or a car.... Heck, the commitment with raising a child is much longer than buying a car and even longer than Dave wants you to commit to buying a house (15 years vs 18).
