HOW cheap? I put one of these in my Expedition when I sold it. Not bad at all for the price. I remember the guy telling me he really liked it, LOL.

Thanks but not quite that cheap. Holy crap that is cheap! How could you have paid much less? They are selling them now for pocket change.

One of the kids is wanting a double din with a screed that will run android auto. Wants it for navigation to fun places. Has an older explorer.

In the end I called Crutchfield and asked them what they actually had in stock for not a ton of money and got system, wiring harness, mounting plate, backup camera, etc for less than $250. Ships tomorrow. Jensen brand. Plays CDs & DVDs also.

I've been eyeing this one. A guy at work says this is a great deck for the money.

A piece of advice my dad gave me that doesn't work anymore.
He told me that if I ever end up in the hospital, don't tell them you are catholic, tell them you are Jewish. Then you will get better food.

It doesn't work anymore though. I took wife to hospital for a catscan (no cats found), and the interviewing lady asked her religion. Before she could answer, I asked lady if wifey said Jewish would she get better food. Paperwork lady laughed loudly then said it didn't matter as they have a menu and you can order any tasteless food you want. Paperwork lady then said it was only asked in case someone asked for a religion person. I asked if she knew whether if someone asked for a priest and a rabbi shows up do they still get the right prayers. She laughed and said that was beyond her knowledge. We all laughed and made more jokes and comments.

At some point wifey decided to let us both know that she only planned to be there a couple hours for the catscan (still no cats) and if we could shut up we could all get through this sooner.

Apparently all good with the catscan, no cats is normal. Who knew?

Also, I'm not catholic, He was.

On the 5.0 in the car list, It was a 4.6. Something was wrong with that car, It kept wearing the rear tires out in about 500 mile.
Loose nut behind the wheel?
