I've been getting around in a '97 Escort. It's got good strong heat, starts right up and runs great. I can't wait to get the Mustang back out though, it's going to be a fun summer.

98 camry 157 thousand miles and no issues yet. My wife has rubbed it up against a concrete pillar and almost broke the passenger mirror. It's the beater but runs good and rides so smooth.

Twin Turbo...Wow, from the angle of that picture, it looks like you need to butter the sides of the Mustang to get it through the Garage door!

Anyway, my foul weather service beater is an '82 Ford F250, 4X4, manual hubs, manual trans, manual 4X4, no radio, heater only has high speed fan, cracked windshield, 300 cube I6 motor, some rust, rest of the paint is bad but the wheels and tires make for a great snow traveler-even in 2WD.

A mint '97 Lincoln Continental with 40,000 miles on it. 4.6L - 32 Valve Intech V8 with FWD.

I got it 2 years ago with only 28,000 miles on it. Not bad for a 9 year old car at the time.

Problem with mine is my sister bought it new in 91 and never did any maintenance. When I picked it up from her it was missing a front brake pad (yes they were stopping on the caliper) and one door would not stay shut cause the handle would stay up on the outside due to excessive tree sap, and the drivers door had to be opened from the outside due to broken handle inside. The timing belt gave out at 175,000 miles (original) put an new one in and it was singin' again.
