My only free car is the '94 Ford Escort I currently own with about 188K miles. It was dad's daily driver. Mom doesn't drive and gave it to me after dad's death, it's just an Escort and would be nothing special to most people, but since it was dad's it has a special place in my heart. Mom still has their '99 Grand Marquis in case she needs someone to take her somewhere if my brother or I are not available. The '94 Escort was still running fine when mom gave it to me, but needed a water pump and timing belt. I took a day last summer and replaced them and it's running great now. The body is in pretty decent shape, but could use a paint job since part of the clear coat is peeling off. Since I have too many cars to insure and maintain I've considered retiring my '88 Escort Pony with 518K miles on it and using this one as my main daily driver. This should tell you how special it is if I'm willing to give up my baby (the '88 Escort Pony) for it.
