Default How Many Fords Have You Bought New?

Seems kind of embarassing but the Fiesta is my 10th brand new one. Started buying Fords in 1983. Had a '98 Jeep TJ, '00 Dodge Dakota and a Nissan Titan in between.

My list:
1983 Black EXP
1986 Maroon and Silver Escort GT
1988 Maroon and Silver Taurus Wagon
1988 Blue Festiva
1993 Silver Ranger XL
1994 White/Black Mustang GT Convertable
1996 Green Explorer
2003 Silver Focus
2010 Black F-150 FX2 Scab
2011 Black Fiesta

One.

1984 Honda Accord
1988 Alfa Romeo Milano (luv)
1992 Dodge Dakota
1994 Saturn SL2
1996 Saab 900 SE Turbo
1999 Saab 95 Wagon (371,000 miles)
2002 VW Beetle TDI (yuck)
-----> 2011 Ford Fiesta

It's my first Ford and, with the retiring of the Saab Wagon, our only car.

Switched from frequent buying and selling to keeping them till the bitter end.

All cars new (there is already a thread that asks that question). This will be the second FORD I've bought new. The last one was a Tempo manual. Swore I'd never buy another small Ford manual. Rented automatic version of the same car which was fine but not the Ford had a dead spot in the power curve in 1st or 2nd (its been a while). Auto's didn't have that issue.
