Well after 4 years of faithful service to me, my 10 year old Chevy Tracker is officially dead.
Here it is in all it's ****ty glory.
How did it die you ask? Well a combination of salt sea air and salty roads in the winter lead to this.
Yup that's right, pretty much nothing holding in the front of that lower control arm. Talk about a scary drive!
I'm done sinking money into a vehicle that has zero return so time for something new.
New car requirements were:
Less then 5 years old
Bluetooth and all that jazz
Moon roof
White
Not be stupid expensive
Now I really wanted a truck but where I'm working away 3 weeks out of a month, there's no point. Plus buying the truck I want would be stupid expensive.
Enter the 2011 Ford Fiesta SES Hatchback. Meets all my requirements and good on gas to boot!
Specs:
6 spd Auto
Black leather interior
Sync
Winter Package (heated mirrors, seats, block heater)
A/C
Power Windows/Locks
Keyless Entry
Push button Start
Moonroof
LED Accent lighting
Also has factory warranty until 2017
TMPS light is on because I didn't spring the extra money for a set of sensors in my winter wheels.
First mod!
So far I love driving the car around, handles nice, decent pick up (has to be faster then the Tracker lol) and all the gadgets via Sync is simply awesome for me since I'm a bit of a geek.
