Squint

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. Yup yup

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. Very Happy

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... Laughing I hope the long-term reliability of the EcoBoost motor is good.
