DO YOU REMEMBER YOUR FIRST FORD? "A Ford was my first race car. The street stock cars back in the mid-’80s were big and my first car was a Ford Torino. I think it was made in the early ’70s sometime, but that was a good car. I also had a Mustang as one of my first passenger cars, but I’m really a truck guy. I’ve been a truck guy most of my life and the Ford trucks really don’t compare to anything else."

My first vehicle was a 1992 F-150 Custom 4x2 with the 300 I-6 and manual tranny. We used that truck like most people use a 1-ton, and at 130K you couldn't tell it wasn't brand new.

Dec 1993 - 94 Ford Ranger Splash. First year for the flareside bed.
Brilliant blue metallic, decals removed, 4.0 v-6, 5-speed.
That thing would lay rubber in three gears. I sure miss it but momma needed a new "family car".
I always wanted to stuff a FI 351W and C-6 auto. But it would scratch 2/3 1/4 mile no problem.
2nd was 66 F350
3rd was 64 F100
4th was 74 Mercury (needed powerplant for 64 F100)
2,3,4 were all bought within 3 months. I guess the Ford bug bit hard.

umm...first Ford was a 92 Ranger 3.0 XLT, first Ford car, 71 MAch 1 Mustang with a 351C, but my first car was actually a Chevy....and yes, I do miss it...sorta....and I now own 3 Fords all to myself
p.s. I try to buy another car at every six months, when not possible I do get one every year., I have kept the last three (they were Fords) and I sold my ranger just over a year ago, I honestly miss it, it ran real nive for 150k miles and a 5spd, that my whole family learned how to drive on. (I paid 3g for it put 25k miles on in a year, and sold it to 3 mexicans who could not speak English for 2g cash)

a 1985 f-150 4x4 on bald 35's. 302 first year EFI, with the bulldog 4-speed. nasty truck, timing chain and gears not-withstanding.
first car was an 88 subaru 4x4 that would outwheel blazers...didnt last too long though.
