Riding With The King...


So I broke down and finally bought a new vehicle, after being in limbo for the past 6-7 months and driving the old diesel truck pretty much everywhere. I'm very happy with my purchase and believe I've made the right choice.

As you can see, my car is a 2008 Ford Fusion SE. Light grey, looks almost white at first glance. I got it from Jubilee Ford in the Saskatoon Auto Mall last Friday, and I'm very satisfied. I did my research on the Fusion model over the past few weeks, and I knew it was what I wanted - I wasn't gonna settle for anything else. Too often in my life, I've settled. "Oh, this is good for now." "We'll see what happens down the road." "I'll see where I'm at in a few months."

NO MORE!

Some cool features, too. CD player, front and back speakers, and six months of free Sirius satellite radio. Right now I've got my dials turned on Howard Stern, so there's no doubt that by the end of the six-month period, I'll be hooked and have no problem paying the $14-15 a month to keep it. As well, its got a 2.3 litre, 4 cylinder engine, and gets 28MPG in the city, and 40MPG on the highway.

So I'm happy. Pumped is rather the best word. I'll be getting plenty of use out of it this spring and summer. When the boys and I hit up Pratt Lake again (our third year), I'll gladly drive, seeing how my trunk space is big enough to fit a small army.

Keep 'em laughin',
Derek
