    Loved those back in the day but they were not safe and a lot of people died in them. There’s no chance that car would pass today’s crash tests.

    I had a serious fetish for Ford EXPs and Escorts in the late 80s / early 90s. Me and my buddies did lots of hop-up work and engine rebuilds. Set aside the nostalgia though and they were absolute piles of crap.

      That’s not actually true. They got a below average safety rating for impacts on pedestrians.
