Fords where NEVER allowed in our driveway. You didn't even ask Dad if you could buy a Ford product. Chevy, Olds, Caddy and Pontiac where the only vehicles allowed in "Dad's" driveway.
Fast forward 40 years and when I went to look for my first used MH I wanted a Chevy motor. Can't easily unring a bell you Dad put in your head.
Well spent months looking only to find out I could find the Chevy in the 24ft readily but not a 31 ft.
I ran across a steal of a deal for a 31 ft with V-10. And even as an adult I had a hard handing over that money to buy a 'Ford'!
I bought it. I know my Dad was turning over in his grave BUT I found out that V-10 is one kick'in motor. She just keeps going and going and when you call for more she's right there to provide it.
Still can't believe I own a Ford though! :B
