I bought my Ford Explorer simply because it was a really good deal without really knowin' how well an SUV would work for me with my 'chair. It turns out it that's workin' really well for me and I'd buy another one in a heartbeat. It's 9 years old now and it's startin' to nickel and dime me but I still love it. My next vehicle will almost for sure be a Ford but I think I'm gonna try a pickup this time.

Originally - I liked the simple ignition systems. They're not simple anymore except to people like me.

My first long range purposely intended cruiser was a taurus wagon, it worked well until the tranny fried. Maybe it's fate that I ended up in a transmission shop, I dunno...

Second was an F100, because I wanted to know the ins and outs of twin I-Beam lifts.

Third was a diesel because.... It was a diesel

Now I'm heavy into Rangers and thinking about mileage again.

But I do know this after working on several over the last week or so:

Chevrolets are not french. THEY'RE FROM THE DEVIL!!!
