Aside from what's listed in my signature, I've had:
(1) A '72 Econoline Van w/302 engine and semi-tricked out interior (captains chairs, aftermarket cruise control, bed , CB radio & stereo in custom made console, full carpeting, etc.).
(2) A '86 Tempo. Good basic transportation, very few problems.
(3) An '89 Taurus. Blown AX4S tranny. Also had to replace the ignition module twice. In other words, par for the course for that vintage Taurus.
(4) A '93 Sable. Had it about 3 years and crossed my fingers every time I drove it, inasmuch as it had the infamous 3.8L.
About a year after I sold it, a headgasket let go (so I heard).

My dad has been a car salesman for close to 35 years.
I am 25 now but when I was 6 he started selling Ford's at the local Ford dealer. Being as whatever he is selling meant that's what put a roof over my head and food on the table, the family stuck true to what he sold.
SO, for most of my life Ford cars and trucks put a roof over my head and food inmy belly, also for my sister most of her life and my mother (who also works). Ford vehicles made house payments, insurance payments, got me back and forth to wherever, got me to the hospital when I was broken or bleeding, etc etc etc.
There is nothing but Fords in the driveway at mom and dad's ( I still live there till next week when I close on a house).
Do you still need to Know how much FORD BLUE I bleed??

Well, I learned how to drive in a '91 Ford Bronco.
I owned a couple of Toyotas from '97-'98 but in '99 I bought a new Ranger and have owned Fords ever since.
I liked my Toyotas, but the Fords are whole lot cheaper to repair and parts are relatively easy to come by. I honestly cant see myself going back to a Toyota or going to anything that isnt a Ford. GM and Dodge arent even a realistic option.
