I shouldn't admit this out loud but I have to say that I have been working on a lot of ford stuff for friends and family and I have to say I am digging a lot of ford.
I can see why newcomers to the automotive world choose ford. Parts interchange more broadly and parts are easier to find and typically way cheaper than anything mopar.
I am realizing now that mopar is for deep pockets. Ford is so cheap that you don't really worry about breaking stuff and drive it like you stole it and it's fun.
I find I baby my mopars because if something breaks, it's going to cost and have to be ordered with a lot of down time.
