Got rid of the van,

Well it had 100330 on the odo. and was falling apart..

Our fleet division called me and told me to bring it in and get my new one.. I arriaved and they had two vehicles , I couldnt believe when they told me I could pick from either an F150 or a crossover suv....

I chose a 07 freestyle aka taurus x.

Ive had it a week, Im averaging 18mpg in the city with the 4.0 liter V6 coupled with a CVT tranny. Compaired to my van that averaged 13mpg in the city.

I did ask if I could have a hybrid, but they said no.. they had 5 hybrid escapes but they where going to the civil div.


It seems everyone is waiting for Jan 08 before worring about the tax cuts in fla. most cities have found ways to cut a million or so out of their spending bugets..
