Luckily my DD is an employer paid for "tool" that I get to use for personal as well and is garaged at my house... they cover gas, maint, insurance, taxes, car payment, etc... they just take $150 from my paycheck a month to cover any personal mileage I use it for....

And we get a refresh every 2 years... my new 2018 Escape SE is currently being built and will be ready in a few weeks.

Not a bad deal...

Oh boy, your getting the crappy 1.5.  I've heard they suck.

That's what I have now.... and yes... it's awful....I have floored it to go up hills and have had the rpms stall or go backwards...

A fuel dampener issue perhaps?

Been kinda keeping this on the low.  Tomorrow I have my final interview for a new job Im looking to get.  This will be the 3rd one and more formal.  Almost 30 years at my current job, it's time for a change and tired of worring about a job.  Print industry is dying and esp at my place.  So time for a change, esp since Kris and I bought a new house.  Fingers crossed guts.

Best of luck Brian.

Although I don't think you'll need it.

Sounds like you got it and are just trudging through the formalities.

Dont leave clogged gutters full of water and maple seeds for a week in 90 degree heat. Smells like clinical halitosis x a million when you clean them out. :(

Formal interview was rough.  Got asked a safety question, that really caught me off guard.  Other questions I thought I answered well.  Couldnt get a vibe from them and HR lady was vage too.  So not sure, they had other interviews to do.  Should know sonething Friday.

Having Advancetrac on + hard throttle turning onto a road = one really pissed off Advancetrac system.

Sorry guys, but didn't get the job that I was looking to get.  Not sure why, feels like a kick in the balls.  Really disappointed.  🙁😔😔🙁
