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)

,,WOW ,,thats nice ,,very cool car you had ,,I was thinking ,I been having a little shake in the front when I put on the brakes ,,so I changed out both trans mounts on my 1989 Escort GT ,this last week,, had to do some cleaning / sanding and repaint some parts ,,just doing a renew up a little ,, I was already there ,so why not ,,24 year old cars ( a work car at that ) sometimes need a little " TLC " too,,,
