she done it now
i get home from work and my chevy silverado 4x4 is gone.in its place is a 2005 eddie bower expadition 4x4 with every bell and wistle ford offerd in that year and model. my wife traded my back up truck in so she could have a (nicer) ride.my chevy was a 2000 lifted extend cab that was clean and kept well. so after a test drive i like it .the options are confuseing as hell but will learn them in time.so without intentanaly doing this my self i have gone from a two truck chevy family to a two truck ford family in under one year.i am glad she has a good secure job in the health feild so she can pay for the truck.i dont like payments on anything.save up and buy it cash and own is my way.so anyway just wanted to share and now ill be posting in two sections on this fourm.have a good day fellas.

I have a ....
2001 - F150 Lariat supercrew
2002 - Excursion PSD limited
2003 - Expedition Eddie Bauer
A bit of an addiction I suppose but I like them all and they each have their benefits.

Blue is what its all about! I just can't seem to part with my VW GTI. It was my first (expensive) car I have been able to own. It's still looks new. Great German quality. Had it since 2006. Now I'm all blue oval. My wife and I just got her Edge. That thing is EXTREMELY comfortable, and its got plenty of power also! These Fords are up to par with VW and any other auto maker for sure at this point.

Congrats on the purchase!
If it makes you feel any better, it took me almost a week to figure out the heater in my '11 (coming from a 2000 XLT with no bells/whistles). All I knew to do was spin the left **** all the way to the right.
I can't wait to get a '13 Explorer Sport in the garage later this year. Wife (and myself) are excited to get rid of our '08 Outlook.
