Overview: This week we're testing the 2005 Ford Focus ZX5 SES 5-passenger sedan. I can't tell you how many times I've told my kids about the world condition of oil and it's time to dump the gas burners and buy a fuel-efficient car. Well you can tell kids, but you can't...

Overview: This week I tested the 2004 Ford Thunderbird two-seater sports car. I've wanted to test this car for a while and was happy to have the opportunity. It reminds me of my high school days and when the first T-Birds arrived on the scene. Daddy bought one for Janet Z and I...

Overview: This week I drove the 2004 Ford Mustang GT 40th Anniversary Edition. One of the first things that hit me was a vision of the Steve Martin movie where he was cavorting with a very young woman and he exclaims, “I'm young again”. This Mustang will make you feel “young”...

Overview: This week I drove the 2004 Ford Freestar Limited Mini Van. If you haven't driven a Ford lately look again their ad slogan rings out. Cool slogan, and it sticks with you. I wonder who took the credit on that one? If it doesn't work you can be sure the...

Overview: This week I was carried about by the 2003 Ford Super Duty F350 4X4 SuperCab pickup truck. And it totes more than folks around. It tows nearly 6 ¾ tons with a payload of about 2 tons with the single rear wheel and 2-wheel drive. With a dual wheel rear...

Overview: This weeks test vehicle was the 2002 Ford Escape SUV that carried me and the little lady on an “Escape” of our own. Over several rivers and through lots of woods to the Jensen's we did go. But on the way we covered a lot of ground and as the...

Overview: Ok folks I thought it would be boring too, but the 2002 Ford Econoline F350 Van was way cool. Sure, it has to have a purpose, but there are many uses for such a versatile vehicle. It seats 8 so that must be the first requirement you're looking to fill. That...

Overview: This week I had a chance to drive the regular every day version of the Ford Mustang GT. They continue in the tradition of the Mustang that entered the scene in the mid 1960's. They have always been sporty albeit basic transportation cars. But the price is more than basic. Basic...

Overview: This week's car is the 2001 Ford Mustang special edition with a Bullitt badge. Ok, if you were going to the movies in the 1960's and 70's you'll likely remember actor Steve McQueen, born 1930 and died 1980. Some of his world famous movies include The Magnificent Seven (1960), The Great...

Overview: This week's car is the 2001 Ford Focus Wagon. I\'ve want to get into one since they came out, but you can only drive one car at a time. I thought the styling was interestingly different and rather futuristic. And the price was likely to be real af-Ford-able. I gave it...
