    Me pappy always drove Ford. 55 Crown Vic, 71 LTD, 77LTD, 82 Crown Vic,91, Crown Vic. 05 F150,still drives it at 84yrs old. Unfortunately mom drives a Kia. Drives nice ,gets good gas mileage and easier to get around in than the 91 Vic.
    Me? Learned to drive on a 77 Ford fiesta 2dr. Along with 2 brothers. Yup had a very easy life that car!o_O Went thru shnitz and back a few times. Finally got too rusted to drive no floor boards fenders hatch wouldn't stay shut. Still had good motor at 160000kms.
    My first truck I bought,84 got a sr5 extracab 4banger. Had it for 9yrs. Got way too rusty. Tuff,reliable little truck. After the frame got pulled apart towing 7000lbs once too often, bought a 93 f250. 5.8 slushbox transmission. Regular cab. 10 yrs of trouble free driving.
    Decided I had too have a shiny new 03 V10. Still have it. Needs a little rust removal tho.
    Had a 73Mach1 for a few yrs .Cleveland 4speed. 88 turbo coupe Tbird. Liked it, sold it to buy the stang.
    Yup ,I think I'm stuck on Ford.
    Dodge never could make a truck and Chebby just a car with a big trunk.
    Have a great day enjoying what you drive!
