Im late to this party, I bought my first Fd in 2000. It was a 93 base Montego. I totalled it into a telephone pole one cold January morning on my way to work in 2001. I bought my current Fd (93 touring montego) one month after crashing the first. (once bitten...) I got it from a fellow in Richmond who had to get rid of it because he was getting married. I gave him $16,500 and it was bone stock. Really clean inside and out and had just crossed 40k. In 2002 i was driving the car and got caught out in a tornado and the car suffered severe hail damage. 7k and five months later the car was perfect again now it was Innocent blue mica instead of that god aweful Montego. So here I am one motor, one paint job, single turbo and 25k worth of mods nearly four years after buying the car. The car has been with me since I was single and I would never give it away willing at this point.
Oh I am 28 and I own and operate an antique and fine furniture restoration and refinishing business in the DC/MD/VA area. I am married with one child, one volvo, one excursion, one van, and three mazda pickups. Oh and a RX7.

I got the car for 13,500 with 43k highway miles when I was 16, I'm now 17 with no tickets(I have not been pulled over) NO wrecks.I take extremely good care of my car and I have been shoveling horse maneure(however you spell it) scince i was 15 years old and still do it for my grandad who helped fund it. I have done random jobs such as mowing lawns,worked at a club, and delivered ice. I made the down payment on my own and im an aspiring cpu nerd,car guy, or airforce man (I cant decide yet).I love my car and hope not to be judged upon age. I know several people that cant handle this car at my age, but there are a select few that can; just remember that. Also Ive grown up around a guys who got a cym r1 at the age of 14(no joke), and another guy who got a black r1 when he was 15, and another guy who got a montego blue when he was 17. They accept me~!

I revive old-*** threads. You just cost me $10! Now I gotta find another thread to resurrect.

I just read my old post... yikes. Glad I'm not in that boat anymore. Sheesh. I'm actually suprised I answered it. Must've been drunk...
