sometimes i wish i had a manual. it'd be nice to have for speed and so i wouldn't worry so much about my tranny going out. a friend's of mine had her cd4e go out real early, probably with 40k miles on it or maybe less. and it was her older mom driving it and maintained according to ford's specs.

You have to beat up your car for it to last. At least that has been working for me!

i worry about it because i beat it up. my car has more miles than your's does though, so I need to be a little more careful.
