Welcome to Test Drive Ford

So, what gives me the right to write about Ford? Primarily two reasons: 1) I have mostly driven Ford Motor Company vehicles  my entire life. In fact, my first new car was a 1971 Ford Pinto with a 1600 cc engine. People on bicycles used to pass me and curse that I wasn't accelerating faster.

I also owned a groovy, yellow Maverick and currently drive a 2004 Taurus.

2) I own a web site called TestDriveFord.com. What else am I going to write about here?
