    James, my husband, is asleep in his bedroom in Little Rock right now. He had to call my at 3:28 PM to pick him up because his car has broken down AGAIN!!!!! So, I will be ferrying him to/from the Little Rock Maverick terminal for his home time for the foreseeable future. He KNOWS what will happen with his car if it is up to me :biggrin_25513:

    Had planned to park at a service plaza on I-88 in Dekalb, IL to take my 34.... But they don't allow any overnight parking.... There are signs everywhere saying 2-hr parking only... No wonder, the place is soooo small, not for big trucks at all.... I will be going to Chicago on Monday but don't know any other place to park on I-88 heading that way... so had to go back 16 miles west to I-39 where I found a Pilot. :biggrin_25519: It's small but not tight and there's a Petro right accross street with a nice variety of fresh food.... not that I will eat there for I cook in the truck, but it's a nice place.

    Or a Ford Festiva (we had a Ford Tempo at one time, it would be running fine when he drove it but every time I drove it something went wrong - one time the front wheel bearings, another time the battery (no, I did not leave the lights or anything else on LOL), cannot remember what else). Seriously, we only buy used vehicles, the Ford Festiva was bought in - I think - 1999 and worked perfectly until April 2005. Then, we got my Chevrolet Cavalier (2003 model bought in April 2005), only had 2 minor mechanical problems since (I do not count the problems caused by being rearended twice as they are not problems caused by the manufacturing or wear of the car). Since we got the Chevrolet Cavalier, he has had a Buick Century (it was stolen and the thiefs popped the trunk lock and the ignition and it was never as good as it was before then), a Dodge Mini Ram (mechanical problems with it), a Mazda little pickup truck (manual transmission - nondriveable by me - but problems with head gasket as I was told by the mechanic who bought it for $100) and the current 1988 Acura Legend (he bought it for $1200 and have put a new engine in it for $1200 and had $1800 worth of transmission work done to it - guess why I want to put it into the wrecking yard!). To put the mechanical work done on my car into comparison with the work done on the Acura, the mechanical work on my car has only cost, I think, about $250. The cosmetic work due to rearendings was about $5000, the vast majority paid by the other people's insurance companies. Hubby has told me to NEVER sell MY car LOL. BTW, the car I drive is in his name so he gets to say that, the car he drives is in my name so I should have the major say in what happens to it :biggrin_25524:
