soooo

me and the father went out looking for him a new car...started at the nissan place...gotta say, the pathfinder has got to be the worst fitting car I've ever sat in, it's next to impossible to get in the back seat without banging your knees on the door, pillars, and seats. The front seat doesnt go back far enough, and when you put the pedals down on the floor where they go, your leg hits the underside of the dash. Total fail

then we went by a luxury dealer, had lots of nice beemers...but specifically an audi A4.... like that car, but we didnt drive it as he wasnt really looking for an audi.

went to the honda dealership. drove a ford sport trac, with a v8...I'm not impressed...drove around a base model honda accord...wasnt impressed with that either...then we saw a dark purple 07 fusion...dad loved it...even so much as to get a price on it. Wasnt quite where it needed to be, and we wanted to go to the ford dealer anyway to look at several cars.

went to ford...drove a edge...it's beautiful, but he just didnt fit right in it, and I didnt really like it much either, looked at some older fusions, they were okay, but I wasnt a fan...then....well, then we got a ford fusion sport

holy mother of hell!

that is an absolutely incredible car to say the least. I wish the one we tested didnt have the moon and tune package (wish you could get the stereo system w/o the stupid moonroof that leaves no headoom in the car). We took it out, it's got one of those shiftable auto transmissions...we were tooling around in it a little, dad got on it a few times, it was pretty quick. when it was my turn, I stood on it! Holy sheeeet! talk about a car that will set you back in the seat and rev up in a hurry! in second, it's at redline in no time!

I love the thing, lots of room, lots of cool gadgets, looks great, got a lot of trunk space....isnt all *that* expensive, drives really well, really smooth too, even holding the pedal steady at 50, and shifting down to 5th, then to 4th, then to 3rd, there's no bucking or jarring, and the upshifts are incredibly smooth, the whole car is really quiet. I knew dad would like it, I'm pretty sure he wants to get one now. So do I.

Plus I can change the lower fogs to actual working brake ducts. I found some pieces to fab it up pretty easily.

That rawr was made with a crackly sounding voice. <cough cough> Hopefully it's peaked today and will start getting better now. Time for bed....

Eduardo is gonna have to give the verdict on this because it is more than likely and idiomatic phrase in spanish and therefore not a word for word translation.

Is it weird that I have no desire to be on facebook?



I don't want real life Gary to merge with online Gary. Does that sound stupid?




Besides. My wife is on facebook and she would want to be friends and I'm sorry but that ain't gonna happen.
