Re: i hate fords
those aeorstars havent been made in years..im guessing that there are just as many chevys as well as every other car make of that genre that break down... after 150K or so they ALL start nickle and dimeing you... and to be honest i doubt we will see the longevity of that ford in alot of th ese new models they are coming out with their planned obsolescence in them

Re: i hate fords
I can't say that I have any hatred for Fords. I have made a living driving them for many years. In fact I bought one for it's reliability even though my favoritism lies with the old Chevy stuff.
