 My '97 Escort was a fun little car 
w/just enough character to make me 
look like I was having fun.  The 
highway miles were impecable, and the 
city miles weren't bad either.  I made 
an average of two trips to Mn. from 
K.C. a year, and the car got me there 
and back w/no problems.  Last time in 
Mn. I hit a piece of construction 
asphalt on the highway and totaled the 
car.  All in all though, the car did 
me well and I had to shed a tear when 
the insurance company took it away 
from me.
