W00T!!! The jeep is gone!!!

[Damkid]

Well today i signed the papers on a new vehicle, a 2008 Ford Escape!! that means i get rid of my dam money pit, gas loving pig of a jeep!!!

I don't know what i'm more happy about, getting a new vehicle or getting rid of my jeep :lol: either way i'm happy to not have to worry about break downs every 3 weeks

I'll post up some pics once i get it, which should be mid-late next week, and once i get it, i can take my festiva off the road and let it rest for the winter because i should also be ordering a megasquirt for the festiva too :evil4: so it'll need its rest for spring time hahaha

Congrats we love our 04. Bought it with 32k in 06 now has 113k. A few of the 08's had problems with the trans I'd make sure the fix was done.

Congrats. Must be really cool having a car that everything works in it.

Geez Damkid your rolling stock fleet must be vast. You own or rent lots of property?

New Escape

We bought a new 09 Hybrid Escape in February of 09. It has 50K on it and gets around 35 mpg everywhere. Love the vehicle; hate the payments. No problems yet but the computer makes a lot more noise then I think it should every time it turns on.:reindeer:

My mom has a 2005 escape, and its great. 3.0L duratec V6 can spin the tires every time until 4x4 kicks on.

[Damkid]

the one i'm getting has a 2.5l 4 cyl. FWD, its the family vehicle and doesn't need to be over-powered :lol:

[Basement_Modder]

Noooooo! The 4-cyl ones are awful!

They are SUVs with DRUMS in the rear!

[Damkid]

So? What's your point?

If the 4cyl are awful, post a reason why

He says that now, but later.....:p

We've got a 2005 Escape. Only had it a couple of months, but so far, so good.

I bet Chris is already planning the four turbos feeding into the four ITBs and the standalone system to run it. Under the all carbon fiber hood with scoop and little window to show off the custom stuff.
