I "learned" how to drive in a 2004 Chevy Trailblazer/2004 Ford Focus ZX5/2004 Ford Taurus (Vulcan engine ). It was the majority of the cars we had on the driving range, but we could only take the Trailblazers out of the range cause they were the only ones with cheeze hats on them... On my permit I learned to drive in a 1998 Pontiac Grand Prix GT... man that thing is a barrell of fun... Ill even admit that I had fun with an automatic.... but my FIRST car is my 1996 Ford Contour GL. I learned to drive stick in a 1996 Ford Escort LX hatchback... Man that thing was a beast... I loved that car though, I kind of wanted it, minus the fact that it had 130K miles, needed a new starter, but the rest of the car was golden... I didnt really want that 1.9L SOHC... If I had gotten a scort... I would have gotten a GT or an early ZX2 with a 5 speed. I love my contour... and im considering buying a 2000 if I cant find a focus I like...

I actually looked at a 1999 Mercury Mystique friday with 55K miles on it... LOADED, leather, everything, Duratec, Automatic But the car purred, I almost couldnt tell that it was running... They wanted 5500 for it... I ALMOST bought it.
