Lease was up on my 2016 C300.
Nothing but problems with that POS...

So glad I got the Ranger! 3 months and I still smile every time I drive it!

I replaced a 97 Ranger with 250,000+ miles on it.

I don't see many F-150's in the "Supercab" trim 99% around here are a Crewcab ....wouldn't mind one myself with a 6-8ft bed.

2010 Fusion SE with 150k miles. Sold it on Tuesday, was a great, reliable commuter that I've had since 2012.

2006 Audi A6 and a 1991 Honda Civic Wagon 4wd.

I used the civic to haul a few FE 390 engines around to machine shops while building the engine that has now found it's way in my 1961 Thunderbird.

Hi LB. Those old Y Block FEs are heavy! My first job at Ford was to design an accelerator control system for the FE 390 4BBL carburetor program for the F-Series. Those were the days of dual "door springs" with intake manifold brackets to the throttle lever...yuk!

Yea, Phil, you got to work on the new stuff! Better than the factory linkage from the Autolite 4100's that came standard on the 61-63 Ford big blocks. Sheesh, why there were 3 return springs and 5 rods to actuate the accelerator, plus another heat coil for the water-cooled carb spacer is beyond me! Guess the engineers in the early 60's just liked adding more rods to things.

She's converted up to a more standard linkage from a Holley 750 that it runs now. The FE's always sound MEAN with any sort of decent exhaust.... And she's got a pair of 16" glasspacks on divorced, unmuffled pipes with tubular manifolds.
