Turbo Tax

I have used their software for several years. And so has my computer it turns out.  I have been trying to uninstall one of  their programs.  I finally got my son to do it.  It was slowing down my computer.
So, I have been trying to get hold of Turbo Tax.  No one is available when I am home.  And I work from 8to 5 so no time to call.  Maybe I will have to use another company this year.

Ford Freestar

My company vehicle is in the shop so I drove a Ford Freestar minivan today.  I like the room in it.  I was not happy with the braking system.  The brakes were too soft.  On my dork mobile, I can touch the brakes and no problem slowing the car down.  On the Freestar, I had to push hard on the brakes.  It felt for all the world as though I was slowing down a big Chevy suburban and the Freestar is no where near as big as the suburban.  I would not buy this minivan for my personal use.

No new items

Don't have a lot to say today.  I can, however, give you an update on the Nissan Versa.  It drives good.  You really zip around in it.  But I can't keep from thinking about being in a small, 2000 pound, fiberglass box.  I am looking for another Mercury.  If I can't find that, then I am going back to a truck, Dodge specifically.  I know that the mechanics trash Dodge, but I have to say, I have never had a problem with any of the Dodges I have had.  I cannot say that about the GM products.  I have paid for at least 4 transmission rebuilds and one new transmission outright on GM products.  And they finally admitted that the transmissions they used in the 90's were crap.  Two went out on Buicks I had before 80,000 miles.  I won't drive a GM product again.
