Default 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! So happy for you!

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



Is it as fun as riding in the WeinerMobile?

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.
