Default My new ride...

Well i've been looking for something else to drive back and forth to work to keep the miles off my truck. I was looking for something a LITTLE bit fancier but i couldn't pass this up for $300...

It's a 1988 Ford Escort Station wagon. 1.9L of fury Runs and drives great, everything on it works, a/c, heat, rear window defroster, and even the cruise control. The guy claims it gets 26-28mpg which is really the only thing that sold it to me other than the price. I was looking for an early 90's model cadillac and i'll prolly still get one eventually but i just couldn't pass this up.

all the guys at work have been giving me ****. they kept sayin, "yep, that car will go straight from your shop to danny's shop for a stereo system, some airbags, and some nitrous."

it really is ugly as sin, but its in excellent shape. interior is awesome, no wind leaks, like i said all the options work, the body is flawless...other than the way it looks It won't take long to pay for itself i know that
