After nearly 6 years of ownership of my most recent ride, a Ford Cougar, it was coming time to change. That car was almost 10 years old and it was beginning to show, even though to most onlookers the car was still in great condition and running fine.
I ordered her replacement after much research in late February and last week took delivery of a brand new Ford Focus XR5 Turbo - an early Birthday present to myself! This is the first time I've been able to own a brand new car and it's a great feeling mixed with excitement, anxiousness and paranoia!
After one week of ownership the main commute has been to and from work and I'm still trying to get used to all the new features and the different driving experience this car offers. Where the Cougar was a great cruiser, this car regains some practicality and is a little bullet with the turbo allowing things to happen a lot faster. I know the car has quite a lot more in it and it's something I'm adjusting to slowly so I don't screw up in my early days!
While the last car was quite the project car when it came to modifications and accessories I added on, this car will be something totally different. Of course, situations are different and this car reflects that, but with so many other, bigger things to be looking at this year, like the wedding and other house related projects, the car will remain pretty much as is for the timebeing. The beauty being that the car is perfect as it is for the timebeing anyway!
So that's my story and quick wrap-up - let me introduce you to my new car...
Until next time,
Dan

Congratulations on your new car! I'm sure you will love it just as much as I did with my Hyundai i30!
But remember, just because your car handles conditions well, it doesn't mean you should drive differently on the road. Take care on the road and stay safe! xo
