I learned my lesson in ‘92. Bought a brand new Ford T-Bird. The problems never ended right from the start. Even though it was all covered under warranty, I still had to take the time and effort to deal with it. To make matters worse, the loaner they gave me was a Ford Tempo, talk about a bucket of bolts!!! Never again! We bought a Toyota, which we passed on to my older son, and he still drives. 240,000 miles later.
