This new baby of mine was not near as painful as my previous "5"...and maybe a different type of love after delivery...but oh how I love this new baby of mine! It took 6 months of research, hunting on line and interacting with car dealers before the actual transaction took place. Very painful ordeal and think I would rather have all my teeth pulled with no lidocaine before going through this experience again! And if anyone needs to know anything about "crossovers", I am the one to ask...I know more about them all than the car dealers do. Just ask Val. I think he was a little embarassed and know he was very relieved when I drove off the lot with this red beauty! I was very specific about what I wanted and didn't want;1. Had to be a crossover
2. Could not be; black(my current car non-color), blue(Val's car), white(My good friend
Lori recently got a white crossover and didn't want to copy), red(yes I said it red. I think
people who drive red cars are attention seekers. Sorry if I offend anyone but I now belong to that group)
3. Could not be a Lexus(once again the, "Copy Lori factor")
4. Could not be from a car company that accepted bailout money
5. Had to have Navigation feature
6. Had to have a sun roof
7. Had to play my Ipod
So the cadillac SRX that I wanted so badly was out...now what? I searched online and car lots, test drove, searched some more....then....stumbled across this beautiful "RED" Ford Edge. I found it in Utah...had to buy it before I could even see it or drive it so they could get it across state lines...was scared because of the color...saw it...instantly bonded.
This car is amazing! It is so smart. I talk to it...it talks to me...even tells me when I am leaving the house and have forgotten my phone. I love the hands free feature of the phone....that my contacts are downloaded into the car phone....that I can tell it who to call and it does....that it can read texts and text by voice command without ever picking up my phone. That it can tell me how healthy it is. That it takes commands from me:) has a USB port and downloads my ipod music...that I can tell it what songs, artists, playlist to play or just shuffle...that it can direct me to the nearest mall from any city I might be in...to a hospital...to a gas station...to a hotel. Like I said...it is so smart and I am in love...red was the only color I could find over a 6 month search that had every feature I was looking for so I gave in to the color and...who knows...maybe I am an attention seeker(but actually try to have as little attention drawn to me as possible...usually:"> )
...and just to clarify...this purchase had NOTHING to do with American Idol! but way to go Lee DeWyze! You had my vote from the beginning....
