I've also noted, curiously, that "progression to the mean" seems to rarely happen to me, particularly if it is regards to something important to me.


The classic example would be a Ford Mustang I bought new in the 80s. EVERY FUCKING MONTH something vital broke on that piece of shit. No matter how much money I spent on that turd, it was still a TURD.

Sooner or later, it had to come up on the goddamn graph a little, but it NEVER fucking did for me.

Last straw was worn out engine bearings at 70,000 miles. And that was after replacing EVERYTHING FUCKING ELSE on it, some parts more than once.


(sorry, still get a little worked up about that!)

I'm with you brother... There's not a lot of good thugs being said about mustang11's on the forums I frequent.

Then again, I've just about changed every part on my classic 71.
Cars are made a lot better these days as consumers are more demanding for quality...
No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear.
