I have always been a Ford fan thanks to my father, the 1st Ford I owned went through water up to the windows and was the only vehicle around that did not die due to the high water, it was a Maverick.
My car now is a Taurus with 335,983 miles on her and when I hit a 8 point buck the insurance company wanted to total her, needless to say we argued for over 6 months, but they finally fixed her. She is still going strong and I would drive from Ky. to California to prove it. Ford vehicles are the BEST!
