2003 Ford Windstar SEL. (not my actual van)

It replaced the Aerostar for the next 7 years to present, has 159000 miles, 106K by me. It's a great people carrier, but some of the luxurious things quit working: VHS Video system (who cares!), lumbar support leaks air, safety recalls for rust on the sub frame and rear axle, bad ABS controller, interior lights flicker on and off. I turned them off at the dimmer wheel. I fixed the Isolator bolt grommets myself and it runs fantastic.

This was my first motorized vehicle: a moped, handed down by my dad.

Mazda 323 (not my actual vehicle)
Looks like mine. It was an ultra reliable car because it had nothing that could go wrong. It had the DX designation but I don't know why. The dealer installed the factory cruise control, no A/C, no power anything.

It had a carburetor and my wife had trouble starting it. We replaced it with a '86 Chevrolet Cavalier wagon.

'05 Lincoln LS, V8

No, we don't own one. But I test drove one and it won't go of my mind. It would be nice to replace the Windstar with it.
