I finally figured out what was wrong with all the other Fords I've had: They all had Ford engines in them. Ford vehicle with Harvester engine is the perfect solution.  |

Well, until now that is. Ecoboost motor seems damn tough and the new 5.0 looks like a hell of an improvement from the regulat 4.6/5.4 mod motors!
But yeah, everything before that I could do without.  |

My grandmother bought a black 2010 SHO and loves it. I was thinking of offering to buy it off her when she decides to trade it in.
First FoMoCo product I've seriously considered buying so they must be getting better... I hope the long-term reliability of the EcoBoost motor is good. _________________ 84 Camaro Z28 - LS1/T56
