I got my 21 AWD ER last March. Before this the only other car i owned was an 05 Honda CRV. Such an awesome / reliable car. I had never intended to buy a Ford, much less a mustang, but the fact that this car was branded a mustang was a big selling point. All other things being equal - if this car had been called a "Ford XXXX EV" (instead of a mustang mach-E) then i probably wouldn't have gotten it.

2009 Ford Flex. 2022 MME premium RWD ER o 1/26/22

I’m not new to Ford or Mustangs. In order of owning:

1986 Mustang GT
1998 Mustang GT Convertible
2002 Lightning
2012 Flex
2019 Flex
2022 Mach-E

I’ve also owned other brands, but Ford seems to be the favorite.
My first Ford ever was a 2009 Flex. I still drive that beast. Best car I have ever owned. I’m praying the MME is the same.
My husband drives a Ford F-250 super duty ( I’ve never driven it and never plan to drive it!)
Previously owned Pontiacs x2, Mazda, Jeep, 3 GMCs all Yukons (2 Denali)

This is my first car. I have heard of Mustang and Ford but had no idea that Mustang was Ford's or what it looks like. I never thought I would get such a car. Actually, my family hates US-made cars because their experience with the previous cars was terrible. Not reliable and expensive to maintain, I heard. My wife also specifically hated Ford because she worked with them and she was tired of dealing with Ford people. That being said, this car should be really awesome as they all like it :)

I loved both of my Flex vehicles; reminds me of a modernized station wagon. I was surprised that the Flex wasn't Ford's first all-electric car. Seemed a perfect fit to me for some reason.

I think I have the same sickness.. but haven’t had it long enough to amass that kind of list. Very nice collection of interesting vehicles!

My first Ford, Louiebluey might be it for some years to come. I really like the MME FE, and will be retiring next year to a very modest income. I enjoyed the little cream colored 4 door Accord, 79 or 80. I did not like the Bolt, and sold it at 6 months. The Clarity is a really solid car for what it is, same cabin as the $60k hydrogen variant. They Ioniq was a fun little BEV, they were giving them away for $99/mo (I got a limited), with a small down payment. Less than I was paying for the iPhone with service at the time, so I had to try one.

1974 VW 412
1979 Honda Accord
1982 Honda Accord
1985 Honda Prelude
1977 Chevy Chevette
1988 Honda Accord
1998 Subaru Outback

2014 Chevy Volt
2017 Chevy Volt
2018 Honda Clarity
2019 Chevy Bolt
2018 Honda Clarity
2019 Hyundai Ioniq electric

I’m surprised they discontinued it. Wonderful vehicle… but I’m excited about my first mustang!

Been buying Fords since 1976. Bought a F-250 LB Truck new for $5000, they have probably gone up a bit since then. :)
Hadn't bought a Mustang until this year.

Ali, I've been buying Fords since 1970, so if Homestead is "old" what would that make me? :oops:
I'm sure there are members here that have been buying them even before that.

My list of FoMoCo vehicles (that I can remember): #57
