Stop > listening to your hero Rush Limbaugh. Hey, I know that. I really don't blame him, and I thought it was awful of Rush to poke at him that way. I understand Fox did it to show the full effect of the disease. My step father had it, and by the time they drugged him up enough to stop the trmoring, he was completely out of it. Mike has my best wishes for sure. It is a horrible disease. But I knew why he did what he did, in order to get his point across. And believe me, it worked for me. I may be a Conservative, but I DO have a HEART, ya know!

Explains a lot. Why I don't believe you could ruin a transmission by mewrely full throttle shifting? I'm sure you're not telling us something. like the lady who just couldn't stop her Lexus, no matter what. Riiight. And what does being a DH have to do with it? I saw Fox on CNN (there's an oxymoron...) before Limbaugh even mentioned it, and I did NOT agree with Limbaugh on it. I have relatives with Parkinson's. so there.

So, do YOU know if it can or can't? Add something instead of blather for once. You seems to be adept at ruining transmissions. If anyone wants to lend me their Lexus (Raaaayyyyy?) I will GLADLY find out what happens at 125 MPH.

And yet you attack the woman who made the statement. Tells plenty about you. >What about the OFF button? What about it? As many have already said, it seems that you have to hold it for 3 seconds. She probably didn't hold it that long. Most likely it's the ONLY on/off button on anything she owns that has to be held for 3 seconds to turn off. >So, do YOU know if it can or can't?

The ONLY transmission that has not been up to the task of MY *normal* driving is the junk in the Toyota Tercel. Whereas my domestics last forever it seems, the Toyota only lasted a month. Since they work so well for you I'll assume you drive like you write, sloppily, slow, and all over the place, whereas I'm tight, fast, and on the mark. |
