First of all I would like to thank OAC_Sparky and ZTWsquared for making this possible by getting me the connections I needed to make this deal...
As most of you know, I lost my '05 Focus Easter Sunday night when a yahoo decided to blow through a red light and I collided with him, the resulting collision totaled my car and brought to an end nearly three years of driving pleasure and brought me here to this place after I began to look for a "Made In Canada" solution to my quest for Focus information...
While I no longer own a Focus, I am still in the Ford family, in a bigger way than before...
I present to you my new ride, an '08 Ford Fusion SEL AWD

Ambient lighting (flash makes the orange glow rather dim, but in the dark its quite noticeable):

Drove the car back from the dealer in Cambridge, the motor is much more relaxed at cruising speed but if you stick your foot into it, it'll run like it's on fire B)
I'll still be around, don't worry and with that, let the For Sale post be posted :D

Heh, not sure I wanna do that with an AWD car... *BUT* I'm sniffing around for some black Fusion wheels, either 17's or 18's to really make the car look mean ;)

Ai yi yi, I ain't putting 20's on it, I think the AWD system would have a seizure with that much rolling mass to deal with :lol: but wheels in black are definitely in my plans.
I'm looking at a body kit but no extra paint colours (Stripes etc.) I want dark and menacing, not dork & goofy ;)

Thanks, honestly a V6 Stang was also on my radar, but I do need to be able to drive around in the winter, necessitating the AWD.
