Re: biggest waste of money ever

The guy kinda says, "I just let the numbers do the talking...". He has a point: tell people you drive an escort, and they'll think of something completely different to what he's done to it. I wouldn't personally ever spend that dough on an escort, but then again, I'm sure lots of other folks think that we're all retarded for dumping so much into our DSMs. But take the wing off, and you have a decent car.

I don't know why people have such a problem with Fords in the first place.
While I am not a particular fan of the escort. I agree. If you take that wing off, yeah you have an escort, but you still have a 300+hp escort. And you definately don't see that much.

Strange how Ford and their POS's manage to have three of the most reliable cars according to Consumer Reports.

Sounds like Consumer Reports needs to drive a Honda.
