Since you asked...

I'm 56. These are in the order I bought them.

1966 Mustang, 289 auto. My first Ford. It was a very good car.

1993 Escort Wagon. 1.9L manual trans. It was a very good car. Sold it cause my family kept getting bigger and the car kept getting smaller plus we wanted to keep going after the road ended.

1992 Explorer EB 4WD, 4.0L OHV, auto. It has 275K miles and a front seal leak on the trans. Gonna fix it soon. It has been a very good car, except for the transmissions.

1991 Explorer XLT 4WD 4.0L OHV, auto. It has 232K miles and it just lost overdrive. Trying to figure out what's the best thing to do. It has been a very good car. Best car I've ever owned despite the transmission problems. It always makes it through the mud and yuck. Does everything I ask of it and complains very little.

1978 F350 Crew Cab, long bed. 351M, C4 trans. This truck has probably caused me less problems than any car/truck I've ever owned but it only has 94K miles. So far only small stuff like the voltage regulator or heater selenoid has gone out. It's pretty much stock except a previous owner put dual exhausts on it which just makes it harder to talk while driving. I think that if the truck was parked on a railroad track and was hit by a train it would just get a dent in the side and still be drivable.

1997 Explorer XLT, 4.0L OHV, auto. This truck I bought for my daughter #1 and it's been good except I don't like the Control Trac.

1999 Ranger XLT, 3.0L, auto. Bought this for daughter #2 and the trans (4R44E) went out after only a few weeks. I put in a used trans and it seems to be OK now.

That's it so far. No more Fords are seeable in the near future but any car I get is probably NOT going to have an auto trans!
