/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gifA never ending debate. We all develop our "prejudices", if you can call them that, based on our experiences, which may or may not be typical. When I was a teenager, I wanted one of those flathead Ford V-8s, but Dad vetoed that; I started with a Chevy. Dad owned an auto parts store, and I said something to him one day about him not liking Fords, and he corrected me, said, "Oh no, I love'em. They keep me in business; just don't want to own one." /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif Well, it was several years later, when I started on the police department and I liked the Fords we drove, so in 1966, I bought a new Ford sedan, and sure wish there'd been a lemon law back then. That little car would have made a Yugo look like a Rolls Royce; quite possibly the worst lemon to ever come off an assembly line anywhere. So for nearly 25 years, you couldn't have given me a Ford product of any kind.
Then late in 1991, I bought a 460 Ford powered motorhome, had no complaints with it, in 1993 bought a Ford Escort to tow behind the motorhome; towed it 15k miles and drove it 106k, quite possibly the most trouble free car I've owned; still ran like new when my wife totalled it, so I bought a 1999 Escort, no complaints in 40k+ miles, and I was driving a 1981 F250 with a 351 engine with no complaints. Only reason we got rid of the '99 Escort was my wife wanting something bigger, so now we have a 1999 F150 supercab and a 2001 Windstar SE Sport. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif Haven't had anything but Fords now for 12 years. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
