I dive a zippy teal 2 door Ford Escort ZX2. It's like a Timex watch. "It takes a licking and keeps on ticking." That poor car has been to h - e - double hockey sticks and back so many times it's amazing.
I got it used, so who knows what all happened to it before I got it. In the 4 years that I've driven it, I've put it through more "tests" than the Ford Motor Company could ever dream of. This car is the very definition of Built Ford Tough.
There was the time that I winged the post of my car port. (Large scratch on the back of the passenger side.) The time I was rear ended during an ice storm. (The idiot took out the entire back bumper, the trunk, and caved in the entire passenger front end when she pushed me into the curb at 30 MPH.) And most notably, the time that I went head to head with a snow plow. (Opened up the drivers side like a can opener on a sardine can.) That little 2 door spitfire kept me protected from harm in all of those accidents. The only time I was hurt was when I was rear ended. And that was only because I'm so dang short that I have to sit directly under the steering wheel. I hit my knee on the steering wheel and sprained some ligaments.
It's not perfect, by any means. It leaks anti freeze (stupid pot hole,) the wiper fluid sprays over top of the car on one side, and the check engine light keeps going on and off for no reason. (I took it to the dealership and they checked it out.) But over all, you couldn't ask for a better car. And as an added bonus, it gets amazing mileage.
Have you driven a Ford lately? I have and I love it!
