Going off topic but I have to disagree. I do not think I will own another Ford vehicle unless its given to me. Car I had (Taurus SE) seemed to be a transmission, engine and four tires. Ford sure as heck did not build them with driver comfort in mind. Seats were too low, steering wheel was HUGE (cannot see guages over it or through it), seatbelt is a horrible design, shifted rough and didn't handle very good for a car (you felt EVERY bump) and the whole interior felt very cheaply put together. Also wasn't good on fuel at all. I can get nearly as good of mileage with a Grand Caravan and a lot more cargo. About the only thing they got right was headroom and legroom which I thought was decent for a car and a wicked radio. Now an Escort is a totally different car (I think) so I don't know about them. If I ever get another car it will be a Chrysler 200 or 300 or a Honda (Accord) or maybe a Toyota Camry. I bet at least the Toyota is more American built than a Ford and maybe the Honda too.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
