Eddie I think you win hands down!!

My dad owned Fords exclusively all his life. The ones I drove were a 71 Gran Torino, 71 Pinto (which I bought from him) and mom's 71 Pinto wagon.

I got the Pinto in 72 when I was 16 and sold it a few years later to a guy named BJ. I got into hi perf Mopars a few years and owned a 69 383 Super Bee and a 70 440 6pack Roadrunner, which I would give anything to have back.

Got my BII new in 86. Built it up myself except for new paint and setting up axles. 275K miles on it and lots of wheeling. Still running great.

Had an 89 Taurus wagon a couple years, which was totally unreliable - a huge POS.
A GF of 5 years had an 89 Taurus sedan which was also a POS.

Got the 96 7.3PSD in 98 and it's an awesome truck. Put in some under hood goodies and use it to tow the B2 and on trips. Lots of power and 18mpg hiway.

Got the 01 6cyl Stang DD in June 05. Put 60,000 on it in since then. It's a good little car and gets 25mpg. No mods except black letters on the rear bumper.

I also drive an Aerostar at work. Another POS!!I may have forgetten a few...
