The New (to us) car


Here is the car we bought when the van died. It's a 2001 Ford Focus. The saying "Found On Road Dead" concerns me a bit, considering our past history with cars. It appears to be in good shape, no major dents, the paint is pretty good (the paint in the minivan was so bad you could see the metal in spots) It has less than 70,000 miles on it. We are hoping this means that it won't break down. I know I sound like a worry wart but in the 2 years we had the van we probably spent $5000 trying to keep it running. That's more than this car cost before taxes and such. Anyway, wish us luck with this car, it needs to last a few years. Preferrably without spending thousands on fixing it.

The car looks nice. Hopefully Kilo isn't too lonely. She looks kind of lonely in the picture.
