[QUOTE="Shari, post: 207334, member: 1848"] We have two cars and the one truck right now. *** husband is hard on vehicles, too. I had to replace the trans in my truck a few years back due to a fluid leak. I had babied it along knowing it was going for 60,000 miles. I watched out the window one morning as husband headed out in my truck (his was still running at the time) to go to garage sales. The trans was low on fluid, and he didn't put any in. He pulled out of the driveway and rev'ed the truck up 8 or 10 times, trying to get it to go, allowing the transmission to slip and wear more, as opposed to stopping and putting fluid in it. *** The car husband is driving now was mine. I turned it over to him and I repaired an old Taurus for me. The Taurus runs good, but the shift selector is funny, so you have to be careful putting it in gear, and it won't shift if its very cold, so you have to warm it up and drive very slowly at first....junk like that. Seriously, the car won't hold up to husband's driving. *** Even the trans in husband's truck, tho the case broke, when we got the "guts" out of it, it was a year from dying, anyway. And it was only 3 years old. husband just drives stuff so hard. *** difficult child 1 drove the car husband is driving now. It has an oil leak. husband checked the oil in that car every 3 days when difficult child 1 was driving it and was on him like stink on poo if it was even a pint low. When husband started driving the car, the oil hadn't been changed in 6 months. He waited another 5, then I got ticked off and did it. Now, he doesn't even check the oil, he waits til the warning light comes on on the dashboard. At that point, the car is 2 quarts low (it only holds 4). *** I do most of the vehicle maintenance and repair myself. husband is capable (he's actually been to mechanic school), but he doesn't do it.
