You need a Chauffer!...LOL   When you get some more miles on the Durango give us update!  I've had my eye on them since 2011 when they started the new body style.  Do you have the Hemi or 3.6?

Sell everything but the John Deer and stick to only driving on Green Acres.   You are that age now.

Oliver Wendell Douglas had a Hoyt-Claggwell tractor.  He goes into Drucker's store and is asked "You want a part for a WHAT?"

It's gotta be just a function of two new cars in one year. One is jealous of the other and causing bad vibes. The poor John Deere was just a bystander. The 66 just felt left out! The kids know how to get attention.

John Deere lawn tractor -
  Bent blade on culvert pipe
  Bent mower deck when blade hit a stump
  Mower belt snapped,  -  can't imagine why...

66 Mustang
  Lifter and camshaft wiped out
  Dented taillight panel pushing the car into the garage

2017 Shelby
  Curbed right rear wheel at Baton Rouge hotel (shows real good to scratch an alloy wheel that was black to begin with) Less than 1,000 miles on the odometer
  Curbed two left side wheels in Katy, TX while turning the corner to the hotel.

2017 Durango
  Backed rear bumper into a trailer.  Forgot to turn rear park assist back on after towing the boat to the lake.    
  Scratched a big gouge in the plastic bumper.  Less than 100 miles on odometer.

Several have suggested I quit driving forever.  Some have even offered to take these old beat up cars off my hands at no charge.

Today I ordered a new set of chrome wheels to go on the Shelby.  I think I subconsciously trashed the black wheels since I hate the way they make the car look.  It is probably a good thing my 66 won't be drivable for a while...


 
 

Horrible luck.  That hurts just to think about it.

Me too in a lesser way a couple of weeks ago.  High centered the '15 GT in a culvert.  Bent the engine cradle and ripped the front bumper off.  Car's been in the shop for two weeks.  Might be ready tomorrow after I pay $4,500.  

​But it has given me a chance to drive the 'Old Horse' about 500 miles.  That's been fun.

 I have an R/T with the 5.7 hemi.

I forgot to mention I got a speeding ticket going 81 in a 65 on trip to Dallas in the Durango. I blame the active cruise control for speeding up when the guy in front of me moved over when he spotted the cop.

If you want to know how to beat that ticket send me a PM.  Can't be much help with the other stuff, but that I know I can solve. 

Sounds like the April I had.  the hail storm on the 16 Mustang, wife rear ended an suv in her 11 Avenger, and then someone rear ended her in my 04 Jeep about a week later.  All in about 20 days.  I still haven't fixed the Jeep.

Well Steve you need to get curb feeler for your car, find a lawn service, and get a mooring space for that boat, the 66 just leave it stock and drive the ------ out of it.. Sorry we missed the bash Jim B

I got my wife a brand new Expedition last month. Less than 800 miles on it and and a stone hits the windshield, leaving a nice big star crack. I'm just waiting for that to spread.
