In celebration of her birthday, I am going to pick up my new car! Okay...well one thing doesn't really have anything to do with the other, but it sounded good, didn't it??
I ordered my new car back in July. It's a 2009 Ford Escape. It seems like I have been waiting for it FOREVER. I ran out of miles on my lease this past weekend, so I have been on pins and needles waiting for it. I have been driving my husband crazy! He is my car salesman. (We met when he sold me a car about 8 years ago.) I've been asking him every day for the past 2 weeks where it is. Here is why I am so excited:
**28 MPG Highway Miles vs. the 16 MPG that I am getting in my Explorer now.
**Navigation System!!!!!!!!!!! (I think it's even voice activated!)
**Electronic Jukebox with enough memory to hold 2,400 songs!!!!!!!!! I can download songs from a CD into the memory, and it even has a USB port to hook up my flash drive. Plus there is a plug-in for my MP3 player. I don't think I'll be needing my MP3 player with that kind of memory though!
**Sync!! (I can tell it to dial my phone, I can tell it to TEXT for me, I can answer my phone without picking my phone UP! I know there is a whole slew of other things it can do, but I'll have to figure those out)
**Heated Leather Seats!!!!!!!! (I know! I'm spoiled!)
**It plays DVD's on the Navigation system!! (Unfortunately not while I'm driving though. Dang it! Why do they have to ruin all my fun just for a little safety??)
I pretty much got it loaded. I really LOVED my Explorer, but I just couldn't afford the gas anymore. I was a little bummed about having to go down to a 4-cylinder (I have a lead foot!), but I think all the bells and whistles will cheer me up. Thankfully, Escapes are cheaper than Explorers, so I could afford to add some fun things!
Here is a picture of it on the delivery truck. Brian just emailed this to me less than an hour ago (sorry it's not a great quality pic....from his cell phone):
So if y'all don't see me posting for a few days, you'll know it's because I'm busy loading songs into my Jukebox! LOL
Just kidding!!!!!
