Not sure, I am "hooked", either. But, interesting cars that I previously have owned were a 67 Cougar XRT, 2 66 Mustangs, 69 Ranchero, a 70 'Cuda, a 2003 Mach 1, a 2008 GT500. Like others have mentioned I keep my cars a long time, for the most part. I daily drove the 'Cuda for almost a decade. I daily drove the GT500 (summers only) for 15 years and still have it.
The nice thing about the Fords is I can do my own work and they are very approachable. I did all the suspension, exhaust, cooling, infotainment and engine mods on the GT500 without even a lift. Plus, Ford offers plug-in tuners to increase HP and even MPG on certain FI models. Of course, you can do more with the aftermarket, but these are warranty friendly. I'd buy a BMW sourced tuner for my M550 in a flash (pun intended), if they offered one.

I was at my second DE in 2000 at Road Atlanta, in the rain, and this guy (almost as large as the car, he's probably here so I have to watch it haha) in an e30 track prepped car proceeded to lap the shit out of me in a 330rwhp '93 rx7. Sold it that year and bought a club race e36 out of Sevierville TN converted back to street. Got me all the way to instructing and crashed it at IRP drying the track for a Mazda club event 4 years later. Stupid error.
