Whaddya got?
I've noticed a lot of users asking about other makes of vehicles, and I was curious to see what you park in the garage....
forgot to mention my own, 2 79 fords, and a Jeep, 2002 Gr. Cherokee.

Mine is pictured below. Wifes is a 94 Aspire I bought new. Besides lacking any semblance of power, it gets great mileage and has been a pretty good little car...even if it IS a Korean Ford. Blah.
The only other cars I'd consider owning are old Studebakers...even if parts are near to impossible to find. Theres just something so danged cool about the 53 and 54's. I'd really love to have a 54 Stude Speedster. Saw an original one with a blown engine. Leather interior, buckets, the most beautiful dash setup with toggles and spun aluminum, 4 speed. It was one of the very fastest cars of its day, with an OHV engine and I can't remember if it was fuel injected or supercharged.
Otherwise, Im still pure Ford as I can be in this day and age.

I Like Fords but also own others heres the list of my vehicles in chronological order:
1981 Toyota Cressida
1983 Toyota Cressida Executive
1986 Honda Prelude Special Edition
1987 Chevrolet Camaro Iroc-Z 5 spd Manual (5.7 litre port injected)
1988 Ford Bronco II 2.9L Eddie Bauer Edition
1994 Ford Aerostar XL Sport 3.0 L (with sweet Mags, Not stock)
2003 Ford Explorer Sport-Trac 4.0 L
My Fav is The Aerostar No one understands why But Its because it has been the longest lasting most reliable vehicle weve had, (Its had the **** kicked out of it since it was driven off the dealership in '94) 387,000 Original Motor, second tranny, Every last Mile on this van is ALL city driving WITH A LOAD of at least 2,000 lbs. It was bought as a passenger van but always used for cargo.

1972 oldsmobile cutlass supreme
1975 f250 4x4
2000 gmc sonoma
the hi-boy is the only one i dont drive, it had a little bit of a rust problem and i had to can the whole body. the olds was inheritted from my grandfather and i try to keep it in great shape in his memory. the sonoma is a piece of garbage.....i've had more problems with it than imaginable.....it gets me around and looks pretty good, its lowered 3 inches and has a cowl induction hood. if i were to add my dads stable to it, i'd add 5 more vehicles

I've owned:
1977 Honda CB750F SuperSport (good first bike)
1987 Mercury Lynx (never should have sold this car)
198? Plymouth Horizon (wife's car when we got married, sold ASAP)
1988 Mercury Sable (POS--everything that could go wrong, did)
1981 Chevy C10 (rustbucket, spent a day per week fixing it)
1994 Suzuki GSX750F Katana (with mods, hot bike, had kids, had to go)
1990 F150 (in sig)
1993 Eagle Summit (also was a great little car)
1996 Dodge Grand Caravan LE (still have it, been great for my folks and us, 126k and going strong)
1993 F250 (in sig)
I still have the 2 Fords and the Dodge, but I need to sell the F150. I would definitely buy another Caravan, and I'll be honest, I like the new Dodge trucks, but the Fords have served me well also. I don't buy new, so I can't be too picky what I buy used, but I (hopefully) won't ever have to buy another Shove-me.

Ford products are the ones we depend on for daily use, and the only ones we buy new. Any non-Fords are just for play.
