Got a new car

Last weekend, I went and bought a new car (new for me). I got an '09 Ford Focus. It's a 5 speed on the floor. Gets great gas mileage.... I think I'm gonna love this thing!

That's a great little car. I service some from time to time. Good luck and remember you have to put a penny in each corner of the car for luck. My mother always does this (it is an Italian tradition to protect the car from evil spirits) with every car we have. EVEN THE WRECKER!!!! Once again good luck with the new car Angel!

Thanks Tom... I've never heard of doing that, but it can't hurt to try!

I'll get picts as soon as I can... raining today, so at least it should look kind of clean! LOL

I've got a 2011 Focus SE. It's a nice little car and it gets good mileage, which is nice as gas just hit $4.09 a gallon here. You should have fun with it :).

Gas is at $4.40 for regular here in California. I had to rent a Focus for a few days good car, only thing i did not like were the headrests.

I agree, don't like the head rests! But I slide them to as high as they'll go, and then they are ok for me.
