This morning, after returning from work and playing shuffle all the cars, I cracked open craft beer #2, sat in the SHO, and sighed as the realization of old man winter not being too far off settled in.
With all the recent rains, and an unfolding, craptastic forecast for yet more rain to come today, tomorrow, and all throughout the upcoming weekend, its unfortunate the SHO hasn't seen more mileage this year.
So much so that the wife called her Mom yesterday (she holds all of our insurance policies) and placed the SHO into "storage" status.
What. The. F@ck!?!?
I quickly cancelled that status change. Chastised the wife and told her that November 1st is a much more realistic date.
That said, we did purchase the oldest daughter a slightly used 2014 Ford Fiesta Titanium this past weekend. Loaded to the hilt with every/all options and only 26k on the clock.
Oxford white and tinted windows made me jokingly quip it's like a mini-SHO.
She's excited to say the least as it's her 1st official car all to her own. Living in the city (of Chicago) its relative size makes it great for parking and at her budget, the gas mileage is an added bonus.
Out of an abundance of caution, I am opting to place brand new Continental DWS06's on it for her later today.
A couple of pre-bpd car show detail pics to ogle over. I spent this entire past Sunday doing my own extensive detail on it, removed all the dealership emblazoned logos from everywhere too. What a PITA. I'll never understand why they plaster their crap all over the place. To me, word of mouth is a much better sales pitch than logos all over a car they sold. Oh well.
