We’re Broke Now

Please donate your spare change to us, we’re poor now. 🙁

Because we BOUGHT A NEW CAR TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yipppeee! Tim bought me a 2005 Ford Explorer XLT Sport tonight. It’s red, but we think it’s more of a maroon color. I’ve never had a car this color before 🙂 I missed my old Explorer and Tim absolutely adores his F-150, so we decided to take advantage of Ford’s Employee Discount program they had running through today, and we bought this sweet thing tonight:

New Car at the Dealership

It has running boards, graphite gray leather interior (including really comfy bucket seats up front for us), a 6 cd disc changer, an electronic information center on the dash, a rear sensing system, a cool cargo cover in the back that I didn’t have on my old Explorer, keyless entry (including a pad on the driver door), and the nifty little auto dimmer on the rear view mirror. Tim has this on his truck and it’s pretty cool.

Needless to say, I’m pretty excited. I even took a picture of it tonight in the garage! :mrgreen:

My Explorer, at home in her new garage!

We bought it so late in the day, that the cleaning folks had already left. So, Tim is going to take it by on Monday and have them clean it up and detail it. I’ll probably take more pictures tomorrow in the daylight, and I know I will take some once it comes home all clean and shining.

OK, gotta try and catch my breath… I’m still really pumped! 😆

    Nice! what is the rear sensing system? does it beep or something if there is something back there? i have that on my mirror i think, does it dim the lights of the car behind you in the rearview mirror?
