Hey Fabs...

The age of those cars sort of dates me huh? I started driving in 1985 so yeah... they were ALL used and most used HARD.

I have only EVER bought one NEW car in my life. It was a 92 S-10 4x4.

I know Ford is a good as anyone. Personally I have been a Chevy Truck man. It seems like they just FEEL better to me. You know... the intangible seat of the pants feeling.

Both of my brothers are Ford guys and have trucks. One a F-150 std, the other a F-250 ext with the 7.3 Powerstroke. The deisel has not been a great vehicle for him. He did buy it new in 95. It's cost him a lot of maintenance IMO. It does run great though, and gets 20 MPG, and will pull a building down the street.

I have a Jeep now. And a Honda Valkyrie. The wife drives a Suburban. All used.

You know what really got me mad at Ford? I rebuilt the 390 in the highboy... and the valve covers on that thing mate to both the intake manifold and the head. ANd that make a joint where the 3 join that ALWAYS leaks oil. That and the push rods on that engine run thru the intake manifold, and that just seems crazy stoopid to me. Ever since then I have not trusted Ford engineers. I am sure there are examples of things like that with every car maker, but I am FAMILIAR with that one.
