It figures a maverick would buy a Maverick LMAO! They are hard to kill, I should know because I drove one all through my teen years. Sold it for $200 to a wino then several years later I noticed a familiar decal on a car with mismatched panels and a young pregnant gal getting out of it.
Those Fords give your right foot plenty of exercise because it takes a certain technique with the gas pedal to get the transmission to shift when you want it too. You'll see!
Keep up the good work, those dealers and auction houses can make it harder but it they think they can beat you they have another thing coming!
