Welcome... Introduce Yourself... - Page 4

hello to all : i'm retired an starting my first restoration on a 65 gaxley 500

My name is Meredydd (pronounced Meredith). I'm an SCCA racer and obviously car lover. I'm looking for a 1991 Ford Escort GT to replace one that died of an electrical fire this summer. Right now I'm driving a '95 Miata MX5 (same engine, that's why I bought it). Fun car, but I need something bigger than a breadbox.

Hello, I'm Dave (DJ) I'm from central Indiana,
Got out of cars when I started my family, now I'm "Papa".
When the 05's came out I fell in love with the style of the new Mustang and wanted to get a base V6 and play with it after the warrenty ran out.
Some how though a 03 Mach 1 w/4k on the odometer followed me home instead.
Needless to say I'm back into cars again.
God Bless my new wife, after owning the car for less than a week, she looked over and said "I love the car the way it is, but how can we make it louder
and faster?"
So Far;
MAC H pipe, Glass Packs, preditor tune,K&N filter,4.10 gears,and for looks on the street it wears Chrome Mach1 wheels 9X17 front 10.5X17rear wrapped in BFG G-Force kdws., on the track I use the stock rims in front and light wieght Cobra Clones (9X17) on the rear with MT Drag Radials.
Oh yea, it's an automatic trans car.

Welcome mach3. Congrats on the new car. I fixed the link. On this site you have to spell out the whole word "image" and in lower case. in the brackets.

Ok please forgive me if i'm not in the right place. I m a new owner of a 1999 F-150 4x4 5.4. extended cab that i just recently purchased to pull my Catalina 22. You know i must have wanted this one real bad cause i drove from here in south Louisiana to Dallas to get it. I once had a 1979 F-150 4x4 some years back and found it to be quite a mule. So in looking for a work horse i decided on this one. I have some questions about a couple of things but i didnt see where to post in the forums. So help me out Admin :) Thanks

Hi I'm Mike I'm not new just have not been here for a long time.

Hello to all,
 I have many makes and models of cars and trucks. I enjoy different forums for the information and the people of knowledge that can be found on them.
I'm an old fart with nothing better to do than screw around with old cars trucks boats snowmobiles etc.
Retired and my last gig was in the R&D field. I have owned and restored many Fords over the years most being 65-68 mustanges, some I wish I still owned.
 
Nice to be here.

Welcome GT N IT. That is what I would like ot be able to do when I retire. Work on autos, restore or kit car type of stuff. And work with motorcycles.

Hi all.  New to forum, but not to Fords.  I currently own a 84 F150 Shortbed 4X4 w/ 351W, a 92 Ranger STX w/ 4.0 V6 and my pride and joy, a 94 Lincoln Mark VIII with the 4.6 Cobra package.  I live in Indiana and am an avid hunter.   I look forward to checking out the forum and soaking up it's knowledge.

hi i'm charles and new to this. i am 25, i have a ford telstar 1996 and its my first car and i am proud of it yep.

Hi, I'm Bryan, and love the older 91-95 Taurus body style.  I think the look is classic and is coming back in other cars, and have 2 of them.  My problem is keeping these old beauts running.  I hope FF can help me with some of the tougher questions.  Thanks, Amanda !

Hey! I am Chris from southern Indiana and proud to own my ford.  But i don't baby it, it works just like everything else.

Hello I would like to get a second opinion on my wifes car. Her check engine light is always on. Sometimes it goes off and then it will come back on again. What could be some of the possibilities of whats wrong with it? She has a 1995 Ford Escort and I had my Moms husband but the scanner thing on it but it said nothing was wrong. Thats because the light was not on at the time he was doing it. Then her idle is up too high or something because when it is in drive or park it idles real bad and feels like it wants to take off real fast or something. I dont know that much about cars but would like to know if you could help us. Oh and her engine gets very hot real soon. Please help me understand. Thank you

hey, im Brendan, Im from long island, and i Own a 2002 for escape... wish i had something bigger tho lol

Welcome Brendan..

Hi obvious im new here im from australia , I drive a Ford Falcon ba xr8 mk2 . Its got the 5.4lt boss .

Welcome to the site..

My personal ride is the 2005 Ford Focus ST. Decided to register today after driving to the airport and thinking how much I still love driving the Focus ST. It''s tight at 65,000 miles with no rattles no squeaks. It looks and drives brand new. And I''ve had zero costs beyond regularly scheduled maintenance. The ride and handling balance is beautiful. It cuts and thrusts with verve. I can pick a line and the Focus tracks perfectly. The on-center feel and steering is so much more linear and direct than the major competition. I could afford a bigger, more powerful car, but love light sporty front drivers. The 2.3 liter in the ST has great torque and the perfect sporty sound. The brakes are strong and well-balanced. I''ve used the anti-lock brakes enough in panic stops (darn freeway driving) to testify to the ability of the Focus ST to stop as well as it accelerates. Ford knows how to build reliable driver''s cars that are a joy to drive and still affordable. The Focus ST is just a thrill. I love the beefy leather wheel and the chair height seats. I''ve driven hundreds of miles at a time and still been comfortable. That''s remarkable in a C-class "economy" car. At 6'' 1" and 200 lbs, none of the competitors offer me both the legs and comfort. The Corolla has no sense of direction and the Civic''s low seats just don''t provide the long distance touring comfort that the Focus provides. All this and I''ve averaged more than 30 MPG over the life of the car. That''s pretty remarkable in that its spent a lot of time at 70-75 MPH. It will turn 38 MPG at 55 MPH but my routes are more Interstates west of the Mississippi or in town. I needed to share how much the Focus still makes me grin with someone. The Focus is deceptive. The styling is purposeful but lurking under the economy car is a credible front wheel drive sport sedan. I''m waiting for the new rush of Ford sporty cars in 2010. I expect great things from both the new Focus and the new Fiesta.

My wife''s new Milan is impressive too, averaging 27.7 MPG with the same 2.3 liter in a bigger car.

My daughter''s I4 5-speed manual Cougar is still reliable at 96,000 miles, again with no service required beyond regularly scheduled work. (We did have to repair the CD player, but an exploding pop can probably occasioned that minor repair.) She "inherited" the Cougar from my wife and will be ready for a new Cougar or Capri when she graduates from college in 2010.

Thanks Ford.
