General comments?
I am 21 years old and I got the T-Bird from my parents my junior year of high school in 2001.
My mom bought it new in 1995, only 20 miles on it, and she gave it to me when it had about 72,000.
I am currently a junior in college and my T-Bird is still the coolest car.
I currently have 185,000 miles on it and the issues listed above are the only major issues I have had, other than regular maintenance, and of course the gas it guzzles from the V8 engine.
I love this car and I keep it looking like new, its really fast and I would never get rid of it.
