Well me and the misses decided right now was good time to get a new car...
alittle more then i want to pay a month but this is the car my wife wanted...
2009 Dodge Journey SXT
so i got my wifes 2001 Ford Focus SE, its got 114K on the dial so tib will not be driven that much anymore and hopefully i can put more in to the tiburon, but probably not a turbo
Tell me what you guys think

i hope you didnt do cash for clunkers... but i like the journey, its a sharp car. as for the focus, i wish you luck because my girlfriend has a 2000 focus and it has some problems with doors not opening, and power locks not working, and part of the vacuum line tends to get a leak causing it to almost stall when you come to a stop. i hope none of that happens to you

um, doesn't anyone else in your apartment complex own a vehicle? in every pic you have ever posted of your cars there has not once ever been a car that is not in your stable.

we got one of those journeys as a rental when the tib caught on fire... I don't think I'd ever buy one. terrible gas mileage and humongous blind spots. But like you said it's the wife's car so I guess as long as she's happy.
