I am a car person,always have been, right now I also have a Ford Bronco with over 300,000 miles on it and never any trouble. It is a 1989 and as far as the Lincolns, two of them have about 200,000 miles on them. I am also an American car buyer, never owned an import, never will...As far as all the cars I owned, I buy things I like and I never had any trouble with any of them. I just do not have a big enough garage to keep them all, so some go to make room for something else.
