First Ford was a 2020 FX4 Ranger
(EDIT: I guess my first Ford was actually a Mazda B2600 Crewcab)
Can’t remember what I learned to drive on, I was young and it was GM. Learned to drive stick on a Gen1 Civic. Learned 3 on the tree on a GM farm beater.
See above for my current Rangers’ vintage. ;)

I'm still taking donations for a Shelby as a retirement gift. Need to get my Go Fund Me set up?

I could list all of my work vehicles?
I won't bore everyone - maybe just the noteworthy ones and/or noteworthy features/issues....

Don't know anything noteworthy, just lots of them. Right at twenty in the last thirty years. We trade cars at 50k. Right now we are selling some used for more than we paid for them. Market is crazy right now.

LOL. Nope. Car lover, yes. The only time I made money was on the GT500. Broke even on the GT350 and Hellcat. Drove the GT500 for 4 months, put 3,400 miles on it and got paid $8,000 more than what I paid for it. Still waiting on my 2022 GT500 order to be finalized and into production so I can toss that $8,000 towards the car.
I go through cars like skittles. Never really get super attached to any one car except for the 2000 Durango. That was a great SUV but traded for a Z-71 which I always wanted. Mistake. The Z-71 was a dog and performed like poo off road.

Purchasing the TR4A new had to be interesting? How long did you keep it?

I loved that car but.. I took at job that kept me living in motels and moving from place to place fairly often and the Triumph was too small to carry my clothes and tools so I purchased a AMC Javelin in 1969 set up as a AMX with the 390 in it. Both the Triumphs were a lot of fun to drive but too small when living "on the Road". The TR4 was my first new car bought from a dealer.
