History
I have only owned Ford cars and trucks my entire life. Started when I was 15 my first car was a 1965 Mustang. From there have had many more Mustangs, quite a few other Ford cars, a Lincoln and one of my favorites was the '89 XR4Ti. I also have had several F-250's, F-150's and Rangers. I have to say I have had a lot of fun modding the hell out of this little '14 Escape. My next car is a Focus RS.
