Today we pick up our new car!!

In a couple of hours we are driving over to Crestview to the ford dealership to pick up our new car.

2007 Ford Escape. This is the first new car I have had since 1978. MDH got a new little ford Ranger Truck (we still have it) in 1996.

We plan on giving the Ford Truck to our granddaughter this summer. Not a cool car, but a car.

I would be more excited if it was a Mustang convertible or something, and not a little 4 cylinder economy type car, but I have to be realistic.

It will cost us about $1000 to get the baseplate and the electrical cables set up to tow, and we can pull it behind the motorhome.

We are lucky we can get a car and pay it off in March.

Oh yea, and I caught my sister and mdh cold. It has been over a month, I thought I made it. I took that Zicam and I have had worse colds, so maybe it helped.

Nuts

The RV place just called. They can put the Base Plate we ordered on the car tomorrow, so now we have to take the car to Fort Walton Beach today so they can start on it first thing in the morning. It is almost an all day job. The base plate attaches to the car for the Stowmaster hitch.

You wait. We probably won't go anywhere now that we can tow the car.

It will probably be a couple of more days before I even drive it. Good thing I can drive a 5 speed.

As a matter of fact, the first automatic I ever had was my old lady car I got in Tucson. 4 doors and automatic Transmission.

(no subject)

Car is now at the RV dealers having the tow plate installed. I still have not driven this particular car. MDH says it drives very well. I drove one with an automatic transmission, but I will not have a problem.
