Well, I made a big leap yesterday, I bought a new car. Now mind you that I was driving a perfectly functional and rather nice looking 2004 Ford Ranger Edge pickup truck, but the gas was killing me! While I only drive 17 miles each way to go to work, I spend roughly an hour during that commute in stop and go traffic. So, with about $100 a month being spent on gas, it was time to trade.
I chose a Sonic Blue 2006 Ford Focus ZX3 and it's a really sporty looking little hatchback. I got a great deal on my trade in, they gave me more than Kelley Blue Book Trade In. I had 2500 rebate and 500 downpayment matching. My payment stayed about the same, but my gas will be roughly halfed and my insurance will be lower.
I am just tickled !
I can't decide on a name for the car yet. My old Ford Focus was "Zoom Zoom" and my Ranger was "Lil Red", I contempated naming it Stitch, but I don't think that I want to saddle myself with anything with a built in "Badness Level."
Life remains crazy here, Gabby's truck is in the shop....not for a lift kit, but because she had a wreck when she was in south GA on business. The insurance companies are battling each other over fault. This could be nasty. Gabby will see the Chiropractor for the third time tomorrow. Her neck and back are all out of whack. But, hopefully, she will get put back together soon. She has been having headaches and some back pain, but is handing life ok, but then again, she is working from home this week, so it's not like she is flying all over the place, like usual. Wow.....I can ramble.
Gabby almost flipped the truck, so this could have been far worse. Luckily, she only got it up on two wheels. Gabby has decided to skip doing the 3 inch lift kit thing. She knows that she would have flipped had she done that to her truck. Thank God she didn't!!!
I am dreading doing my taxes, because it will not be pretty. But, it has to be done. Pray that the IRS doesn't reposses my soul as payment. lol
Man, I am tired and just rambling on and on.....if you are still reading this you must be bored or over tired yourself. Don't forget that you lose an hour of sleep this weekend. It's time to spring forward......yipee....NOT. I give up now. Have a great Friday. Maggie
