The New Ride

A little late in posting this, but better late than never (or such was my motto whilst using transit).  I purchased my first brand new set of wheels about two months ago.  I had been spending 3 hours a day on transit to get to work and finally had enough as winter rapidly approached.  My timing was rather impeccable, I picked up the car the day before our first snowstorm :)

It's a Focus coupe, I had been looking at the avengers but they just didn't fit right.  I had seen a few of these coupes flying around town but they were notoriously difficult to come by.  Lucky for me, the one I managed to find was fully loaded, leather, auto, AC, power everything, heated everything, SYNC, high-mount spoiler, 17" rims, fits a 6'3 frame great .. as long as said frame doesn't have to go in the back for any reason.  I can't say I'm thrilled about car payments for the next five years, but they're still less than fixing the old beater.
