Rick, that would be a road trip. Fun little "toy" car. Gets great mileage - it's a 4 cylinder with turbo. Averaging around 38 on the highway, 30 around town. It's an M series so has a lot of high performance touches. It's a 2012 that we bought after it came off lease from the original owner - half the cost of a new one. Plan to keep it covered and garaged in the winter and only use it in the summer. Should last a long time.

 

Good morning Vermont and FTE land. Have a great sunny Saturday. Looks like it will be gorgeous weekend

 

Good morning Shawn. Looks like a fun little ride. Definitely need to put it away. Rot to nothing in a few years if driven in winter. Plus the less miles the longer you can go before dumping money in that high maintenance German junk

 

Morning Vermont.

 

Good afternoon Shaun

 

Afternoon Jim. How are you today?

 

Jim, my experience with this German "junk" is that it is well designed, low maintenance, but no more expensive than our big rigs when something breaks. This car goes 15k between oil changes per the dealer and they pay for the oil change when it comes due along with tired, brakes, wiper blades, etc. Ford could learn from BMW on warranties.

 

AFternoon Shawn.

 

Afternoon junior. Hope you're having a good day.

 

So far it has been busy Shawn. Then again I am sitting at work.

 

That sucks. I'm sitting at camp.

 

I will be off at 8 tonight. I wish I had the chance to go camping this summer.

 

Guess you never owned a VW or Audi

 

Good evening Jim, Shawn and everyone

Was a busy day today

Hope you had a great day..

 

Good evening Vermont and Jim!
