Last fall Peter decided to donate our ford Explorer to a veterans group. It was really a fabulous car but the whole undercarriage was rusted.....a result of living in the Northeast with all the snow, salt, & sand in the winter. Every now and then we would find a puddle underneath the car indicating another little leak. Finally our only other option was to get a whole new chassis or dispose of the Explorer. We decided to downsize to our 1 car. So for the last 6 months we have used one car successfully but... we have found that we needed more room in a car, especially when moving boat gear back and forth, when we buy something large, or when we travel with more than 2 people.
Soooo on Friday we started our new vehicle search. We finally decided on a new Ford Escape XLT. It fulfills all our needs for a second car and we were able to negotiate a great price. The car is a 2011 and it has all the options it could have, even some we don't really need, but they were part of the package. We love the color and it fits in our garage beside the Lexus! So now we are back to a 2 car family again!
