 My first vehicle was a Ford Mustang purchased back in the 70's.  I owned a Honda and then a Toyota that I put over 200,000 miles on and it's going strong for someone else now.  I tried a Ford Ranger in 1994; purchased new with poor results.  I dumped it before the warranty expired.  The 1998 Expedition averaged one trip to the garage each month.  I put countless thousands into it and traded a big loss for another Toyota.  I would really like to buy Ford products but I'm not willing to dump money and worry when the vehicle will break down next.  Ironically, my new Toyota is built in Indiana.
