Back in a ford, again

As some of you old school members know, I had a ranger, a mustang, and then a PT Cruiser. And now after not paying off any vehicle, buying a crappy PT cruiser, I officially became upside down. I wanted to get back into a ranger. However I couldnt even afford an XLT 4 banger. Plus with gas being $4 a gallon. I wanted something efficient. My PT Cruiser only got 14 mpg, im glad its gone. I should have kept the ranger and paid it off, instead im upside down. So all I could afford is a 2008 Ford Focus. I bought it back in september. It has no power features or anything, the only upgrade option is auto tranny. LOL. But I like it, its comfy, decently powered and gets 40 mpg. So heres some boring pics. LOL. 4 vehicles in 3 years, lol.

No offense, but it sounds like you were trying to get in a brand new vehicle. You could have gotten a used Ranger for probably less then what you paid for that Focus.

But nice looking car regardless. And welcome back to the Ford club.

At least you are not like my friend. He has a 06? FJ but he is still paying on the Ram before that and the GTI before the Ram. Can you say $35K for a used FJ?
