Thought I would start a different thread that might be fun!
My age is 67
My first Ford was a 1957 Ford Custom 300 that I got at 13 and 1/2 years old to drive around my grandparent's farm.
I learned to drive on a Farmall Super A tractor at age 10.
My 2022 Ranger XLT Tremor is still being shipped, so I hope to have it in by next week, fingers crossed!

How about y'all ???

I'm 57 now and the first Ford I ever owned was a '76 (I think) Ford Pinto, it was 1981 and I was 17 then. It was a winter beater back when I had my Z-28 and MA winters were brutal on cars. It got me through the winter then one spring day I was coming out of Bradlees dept store and saw it on fire in the parking lot. :shock: :facepalm:

It served it purpose and I still got $50.00 for it from the junk yard. Since then I always had Ford vans and F 150's for work. Now my Ranger will get me through until the next gen Ranger is out and I'm waiting to see what they have for the hybrid Ranger.

I'm 49.

My first ford was a 72 F100 with a 79 front clip. 2wd shortbed with a 302. Had a custom interior. Bucket seats and a center console with a shifter out of a firebird supposedly. Camper shell with a couch that folded out into a bed. Had some custom paint that was faded horribly when I got it.

I learned to drive in a vw beetle with a Baja kit that my dad had when I was maybe 7. I was running farm tractors and backhoes by then also. Grew up on a farm.


Edit: I forgot, my current ranger is a 21. Built December of 21. I've never seen a vehicle built that late in the year not being the next year model. I suspect that it was built and then waited till it was finished.

We are a Ford truck family and I have owned and driven just about every style Ford truck there is.

LMAO! Reminds me of a recent online survey asking about 'shopping habits' until the question 'How many and what type of guns do you own?'. :(

First cars I actually drove were '54 Bel Air and a '55 Apache, both 6 cyl and '3 on the tree'. My first car to own (1972) was a well used '66 Fairlane 500 2 door sedan (post) with the C code 289 (4.7L). R Code clone depicted. :)

I'm 68 my first Ford was a 65 Mustang basic little 6 banger with a three speed on the floor. I took my driver test in this bad boy. It belonged to my brother in law at the time but he got in some financial problems and couldn't make the payments so we actually traded cars
