What do you drive...
My ma also got an Escape today which I don't like at all, just like the van it replaced.
Lift, Moto Metal wheels, and new tires will be done before the end of the month.

1966 Ford F-100
Twin I Beam
352FE V8
Shortbox Flareside
4spd
Chrome Yellow
Rebuilt the engine myself, dad and I have worked on it a lot over the years, have invested thousands and thousands of dollars in it. Just got a new paint job and new wood bed, looks cool. The truck has made me broke, it is a money pit. It's worth it though, it looks so cool with all the body damage gone and new glossy paint! The engine is too powerful, rear tires are not holding up.
I'll never get rid of it.
im currently building a 351w for my 84 bronco, gt40 heads, extreme4x4 cam, all the goodies.
I momentarily retired my 73 highboy (360&4 gear) and 84 capri (68 4v 302 powered, much cooler than the stangs) and i only wish i was driving my 61 falcon. hopefully i can this summer. im also looking into buying a bike.
and FYI when im with my GF i ride a horse named shotgun

Ford Trucks for Ford Truck Enthusiasts
Current Car: 95 Ford Explorer 96k
I'm only 16 (17 in 1 month) so I think thats pretty good for someone my age.

I'm 16 in 5 months and I have bought and sold a 78 bronco and a 78 f-100. And currently have a '79 f-150 I'm restoring and a 1990 7.3 IDI f-250 that I have to put a tranny in. Ma says I seem older than I am........wonder where she got that idea?
The color I'm running as you can see in my gallery is code L2 or Ford True Blue Metallic CC. I'm running 235's on 15's right now and will be upgrading to a set of 31"x15 BFG TAKO's. Next though is a set of 40 series straight out the back.
I've dropped about 4k into it the past 4 years. The truck initially was free from my uncle, who owned it since new, spent 15 years as a construction truck, and then came to me rotted to the gunnels. body work is fun....Friends and I did all the work, went to the shop twice to be painted and have the engine tuned...Now it's my daily driver, as for the gas I could give a gnat's ****.
.Once that truck gets finished, it will be my daily driver.
Until it gets finished, I am driving an 2002 mustang, 5 speed with quite a few mods. Today I just bought a 2003 mustang gt that will be my weekend cruiser once it gets finished, and I have NO intention of keeping this car stock... It is replacing the 02 mustang which will be for sale here shortly.
I also have a 78 ford f250 supercab trailer special that will be used for pulling the vehicle listed below. This is the only thing I have completely stock, but once everything else is finished, this will be my next project. A diesel conversion is on the way, along with a dually rear axle and many interior comfort mods as this truck will take in quite a few miles hauling trailers.
1975 Ford f250 4x4. To be completely honest, this truck would be better off as parts than as any form of vehicle. It was the first thing I ever purchased, and it really isn't worth fixing. However, I have the cab and doghouse pretty much completely fixed and it is going back together after been stripped down to the frame. It isn't looking in all that bad of shape now. It will be a playtoy only, and I am rebuilding it with that in mind. I doubt I will even plate/insure it, so that is why it needs to be trailered. 460/c6/205

I also have a 1974 duster, no engine or tranny. Paid a whopping $50 for this car. It isn't in that bad of shape. There is surface rust, but no rust holes and no real body damage except for a dented fender. The whole car is pretty solid. This will be a race car, no doubt about it. It has no title, so I don't have much choice otherwise, but even with a title, a 440+727+duster=awesomeness^2
Lastly I have a 1991 stealth TT. I paid nearly nothing for it. This is also going to be a race only car, autocross and road racing. I blew the turbos out of it not long after getting it, and I am currently waiting on the funds to fix it, since the car isn't going back stock. Since it isn't a daily driver and is just a playtoy, the other stuff is getting fixed first. I may end up selling this car and instead building a cobra as the cobra is a lot cheaper, believe it or not.
I am not rich by any means, I just get really good deals occasionally. The 79 ford, and the fuel injected engine will both just given to me. Both mustangs I purchased for about 1/5 of their value, I paid $300 for the 75 truck, and the stealth was nearly free as well. My dad buys and sells cars for a living, so it really does help
