Oh and I need to link up fiesta pics n stuff. Will do when on a pc later.

She has a ses model in dark gray on order. 5 speed stick to help with pep. Moonroof and loaded. Except leather. Even thru extra in for sporty ground effects and hatch spoiler extender whatever. Figure if gg with cheaper cars might as well do it up. Sticker price only $20k. Remember I said all but leather loaded. I guess auto trans would increase it like $1200 or somin. But still not bad.

Plus with lower sticker prices and good interest rates on the loans for 72 month. Between the 2 new cars (purchase) vs the 2 leases. Will save abt $150. Month in payments. Insurance goes up abt $18 a month once the complete switch over is done. $16 of it with the mkz to hhrss switch. $2 up from tbss to fiesta.

So call it $130 a month savings in payment. But mpg shud rack in another $100 a month in gas. At least! Shit the saving alone will nearly make my bike payment.

I'm glad I upheld ur faith. That was the trend I was doin. But I have changed my pov. There is no reason for us to have bigger cars.

And yes its lowering gas man's gas bill. Not exactly perfect for my job but I need to survive and adapt. I'm also switching over to all syn oils in all my vechicles. Which also lowers crude oil consumtion. Little steps towards a bigger goal.

Wait, why did the insurance go up? Seems like it would have gone down. :scratch:

Ya know. Idk. I fig for mkz to hhr ss. The ss aspect and turbo charge.

The tb ss to fiesta will go up almost $2 a month. I fig tt is due to size of vech. If the tb wasn't a ss the difference wud be greater. But I fig the tbss is probably already a bit higher due to the big 6.0 motor.

The Fiesta is supposed to be a very solid and refined small car. I was going to buy one, but I'd have to buy it instead of lease. Malibu is up on my lease so I got a cheap 2010 VW Golf for 220 a month including tax, 36months 15k a year. 1k OTD including the first month payment.

Do a writeup on the Fiesta when you get it....
