Was the Medallion/Monaco a Peugot or Renault?

I had a customer bring me a Citroen DX once and it took me ages to figure out the suspension and fix it. French cars are weird.

I have a 2004 Mazda 6s wagon. It's paid off, I haven't had any major problems with it. It has 90K miles. It's starting to sound rough and this morning it wouldn't start. I'm hoping its just the battery, but I'm worried that things are going to start going wrong. Why did you get rid of yours Wilheldp?

1998 Toyota Tacoma Pre-Runner.

A few years back at around 90K miles, I took my Taco and my wife's FXW's '98 Chrysler Town & Country Lxi, with the 3.8L engine, heated leather seats, ABS, load balance control, and power package, to the respective dealers for a checkup.

The Chrysler guy came out tsk-tsk'ing with a grocery list of problems that unfolded down to the floor.

The Toyota guy tossed me the keys back in an hour and said good to go. I asked him if it needed a more detailed check since it was getting on up in miles and he says "PHHttt, it's only got 90K miles on it; bring it back to me when you hit 150."

Japan - 1, Detroit - 0

I've got a 2007 Toyota RAV4 I bought after getting my PE license.

I've also got a 1990 Toyota pickup with an Australian aluminum (aluminium?) flatbed - total beatermobile - I can take it anywhere and treat it like trash.
