I got my first brand new car!!
 

I am so excited. I turn 40 in June and yesterday I got my first brand new car.

It's a 2009 Ford Fusion. "smokestone metalic" in color (Light tan) with the microsoft sync voice activated communications system, which allows me to pair my cell phone and ipod to the stereo to run them through the speakers. It also has sirus satelite radio (free for 6 months) and it is very sharp looking. I have never owned a car that was less than 4 years old with less than 35,000 miles on it.

I am taking a road trip to WI this summer and this will make it SO much more fun.

Now I gotta figure out how it all works. I am also waiting for the dealership to schedule having my hand controls put in. Ford gives an allowance for them and I am going to enjoy not having to pay for them myself. Right now, I don't currently have to use hand controls but am having them put in for days I feel I need them.

See you later all, I am going for a drive.

did I mention when I drove it off the lot it had 114 miles on it?!! how cool. I'm glad I am vaporizing and not smoking, don't want to lose that new car smell.

That's very cool, Earl! :Dancing-Chilli: So happy for you!

No fair: I didn't get a brand new car till I was 50! :p



Is it as fun as riding in the WeinerMobile? :D

Congratulations!! I'd love a new car.....but not the car payment! :rolleyes:

Many congratulations! Enjoy that new car smell.

I have spoken to the man and I wish to correct some facts. What he got was a bunch of new techno toys (iPod system, bluetooth phone system, imitation OnStar, etc.) that came in a car-shaped package.:rolleyes:

and his name is.... FELIX

Congrats Sir Ear! New cars are fun!!!

Congrats, Earl.....enjoy your wonderful new car with all the bells and whistles..:hug:

Felixs' first photos
 

I just had to take a few photo's of Felix, here he is.

Happy for you :D Enjoy!! and wishing you safe travels...

My current car is the only one I've ever owned that was less than 5yrs old when I got it. That was in 2002. I'm now back to owning a 10yr old car. (it only has 74k miles on it tho...yay! it had 58k when I got it)

At least this one has been allowed to live in a garage when not being used, and the only scratches on it are from my dad driving it when he was half blind with a cataract...and maybe me when I had optic neuritis in my left eye a couple of years ago. (my dad did the worst scratches tho! We were both half blind at the same time, and we're the only drivers in the house.)

My boyfriend had looked at the Ford Fusions when he was looking for a new car. He ended up getting another Dodge minivan. I was with him when he was looking at Ford Fusions tho...on a lot that was actually closed when we were there, but the employees had somehow forgotten to lock the car doors, or collect the keys from the cars... :D We could have driven off the lot with a new car for each person. (four of us were there looking at the cars)

Good thing we're honest. One of the dealers showed up while we were there, all mad that we were in the cars, and we told him that all the cars had keys in them and all of them were unlocked. He freaked, thanked us and then ran to start collecting keys and count the cars.

Congratulations! Enjoy your new car!!

Congrats!

Oh, and thank you for buying an american car.

Nice looking car, Earl.

Congratulations!
