I love it! My first car was a 1986 Escort GT in red...it was my dad's mid-life crisis car. I winded up selling it in 1993 when I went into the army and it was still on the road in 1998, when I was working at an Auto parts store after I got out! It had over 200k miles on it at the time (it had 130K when I sold it) and was in pretty rough shape though, since I had a pretty decent accident with it and we did the el-cheapo way of just getting it fixed so I'd have something tool around in till I went into the Army.

Here is a photo of it getting built (my dad worked at the plant it was built at)

I had an 85 1/2 until it consumed itself in a ball of fire.
