If my body were a car
IF MY BODY WERE A CAR...
If my body were a car, this is the time I would be thinking about trading it in for a newer model. I've got bumps and dents and scratches in my finish and my paint job is getting a little dull ...
But that's not the worst of it.
My headlights are out of focus and it's especially hard to see things up close
My traction is not as graceful as it once was. I slip and slide and skid and bump into things even in the best of weather.
My whitewalls are stained with varicose veins.
It takes me hours to reach my maximum speed. My fuel rate burns inefficiently.
But here's the worst of it --
Almost every time I sneeze, cough or sputter, either my radiator leaks or my exhaust backfires!

New spark plugs,new spark plug wires. Fix crack in radiator. New tires with front end alighnment. Clean and adjust healight and the rest is just cosmetic. Your engine is just finaly broken in and is good to go another 100.000 miles before next tune up.
You could trade it in for a newer model and be worse off and get stuck with a lemon.
You owned your body/car for so long at least you already know it inside and out. You know what needs fixin. Besides that, they dont make them like they use to.
We will outlast any new model out there with proper maintenance even if we are a litle rusry.
L4 L5 disc replacement in 2004=causing nerve damage'Flexicore disc. 2006 fusion same level leaving adr in. Fusion did nothing to releive the nerve pain.Pain clinic=every injection procedure avalable inc,razadamy, ablation, nerve stimulater trial,morphine pump trial all failed. Pain can be described as burning pain in lower spine penetrating in to left buttock,down left leg. Refuse to take lyrica or nuorontin do to its side effect,Leaving me with norco,valume,and flexiril at night.Which these medications only help with the muscle aches and stiffnes does nothing for the nerve pain from the nerve damage sustained from the adr surgery.Coming up nov.19th 2009 Lami, and hardware removal from fusion,for hardware just causing more pain in other areas.Hardware block comfirmed hardware is also causing pain in diferent area aside from the severe nerve pain on left side.Emg showed some posible problem above surgery are at L3 L4.

Head lights need replacement every 100 years. You have some years to go. Just spit shine yours and adjust it damn it. Listen to the old wise one lol.

The last time I looked at the condition of my body, it resembled at the most, a horse drawn carriage.
All I know is that I can get a good number of miles using some old fashion oats and for headlights, two candles always do the job
