I also had a GOOD ford. It was my first ever car. A 1990 Ford Escort. I loved that little car. It went and went and went. Even after I bought my Cougar (Mercury, but sort of a Ford product) I kept the Escort. Loved my Cougar more than ANY other car I've ever had. Only reason I sold it was because it was in mine and my ex-husbands name and when I was marrying my current husband he didn't really like that idea... and that's when we got our Lemon/Intrepid.

November 29, 1990 - Bought my Ford Escort
Sept 19, 1995 - Bought my Cougar
February 12, 2000 - Bought the Intrepid
May 15, 2004 - Bought the Ford Mustang we have now (love it)
February 14, 2007 - Bought my Chevy Impala *used*

The Fords and the Cougar were all really nice cars - and I love my Impala.
