I sold my '88 Tempo to buy my '98 Taurus, which I am keeping as a winter car. The Tempo was a money pit. The Taurus is going to need a little work in the next month, but now that I have the stang, I can put off the work. My Taurus has been a fun car, and so far reliable and low maintenance.

Three Fords in a row, how many other people car say that.

'95 Ford Escort Sport, '01 Ford focux ZX3 and now my '05 Vert

I had a 2000 Honda Accord EX. The only thing I miss is my sound system. I will soon have that problem solved though.

I am keeping my '99 Ranger. 118,000mi and I'll drive her until she dies.
She will still be my everyday driver, and I don't think my dirt bike would fit in the 'stang well.

I'm a new owner (since Wednesday) of a 05 Redfire GT. I kept my 97 Jeep Grand Cherokee Ltd (4.0L six) because it is still in good shape even with 140K+ miles on her.

The Mustang is great but it won't easily haul my family of four on vacation nor will I want to subject her to Snow/Ice driving which we do get here in VA...I'll keep the Jeeper and continue to enjoy the Jeep owner community as well as the new Mustang family!!!

I had a 2001 Mazda B4000 4x4 Truck.

It had the same the same 4.0 liter V6 as my new Pony, but the stang gets a little better mileage!

Sold it to CarMax!

Here's a pic of it outside of where I had my house built!

Good On You Emille I'm in the same boat sorta work Very hard for what I have and then also adds more of that caring power ! You are well my son and I are hoping ? he still gets teary eyed when he sees the picture, and is a much debateable thing for his mom and I of when he will sit when he's with me FRONT ! the police here maintain that if he is too big for a car seat he's 9 yre then he can sit in the front ! All the Best ! Ed & Nat

Had a 2001 C320 Mercedes coupe, it just came off lease. I bought it for my wife for her 30th b-day. Fun to drive but we had tons of little problems with it which drove me to hate it. Happy to finally give it back.

Most recently we had a '96 Izuzu Trooper and a 2000 Landrover Freelander (I was living in South Africa and really used the 4x4s!). I sold them both last year. Now we have a Trailblazer and the '05 Mustang GT.

Number one son is going off to college soon, so I'm in the market for a beater.
