4-speed manual VW rabbit circa 1977. Drove that car until you could see the road thru the floorboards! It was one of the 1st affordable front wheel drive vehicles and felt like a sports car! Torque city for a 17 year old. Those were the days.
You bought a FORD. That says a lot. I also keep vehicles as long as possible. I have a 2011 FJ Cruiser at 45K miles! All maintenance done and recorded. Been coveting these Broncos as they stopped production of my truck years ago.
