When I was a kid I had a Ferrari Testarossa AND a Lamborghini Countache.....poster on the wall and I new they were fast. I didn't know how pricey they were. Jump a few years and I was getting ready to learn how to drive. Told my dad I wanted an Acura. They were new at the time and he had never herd of Acura. He told me we were Ford people, and I asked why. He said,"Because your Granddad was a Ford mechanic", and I knew my Uncle Bruce was a Ford Mechanic at the time," and if you want it to get worked on cheap, it has to be a Ford". We had a Ford Areostar and a '83 Ranger ('82 production date) the time. I eventually got the ranger and my dad got a Mercury Lynx (ford escort) wagon for my mom. The only NON-Ford vehicle we had was Pontiac Bonneville. That thing sucked and got traded for a new 99 Taurus.
My first car was a 72 Maverick, traded my dad for the Ranger, at the age of 15. Drove the Ranger all through high school, constant upgrades over the years.
So when it came time for me to buy my first car from a dealer, I naturally went to a Ford dealership for my first real world purchase, a 98 Taurus. Only 2 years old and 16k on the dash. I drove that thing all over the SE united states. From North Carolina over to Arkansas, down to Miami, Up to Tennessee. I never really got into any other Brand of vehicle, drove a few Chevrolets, and Nissans, but the Ford Layout has always felt more familiar to me.
