I had bought 3 1998 Ford Explorers within 3 weeks of each other. The first one (green) was 5.0L (V-8), AWD, sunroof, auto dimming mirror. I really liked this truck, but I was on the interstate and fell asleep and accidentally hit a fire truck at 70 MPH. I walked away without a scratch, but my wife had some air bag burns and bruises and stuff. This happened the day after we got married.

I liked my truck so much that I bought another 1998 Ford Explorer. This one had the 4.0L (V-6), with all the goodies. I had plans on selling it right away since we got a good deal on it. We drove that for a little while, but then I gave it to my sister so that she would have something safe to drive during the Nebraska winter.
