I just found out I can get X-Plan through work for Ford vehicles.

Looks like I'll be joining Fordzine this summer.

Congrats on the Fusion. Definitely report back when you get it and let us know how you like it.

Definitely not the Toyota. I'd say the Fusion-you'll love the Aston grill.

not on the list, but I vote for the Optima. Great bang for the buck, been seeing a lot of these on the road and it has presence.

I wonder why Ford doesn't fit the NA 2.5L with direct injection... it did marvels on the Focus 2.0L.

Congrats on the new RepMobile. Good to see you still around here.

Come out for some food and drinks this Saturday if you have some free time. It has been a while.

Perhaps it's on the way out...Ford seems to be pretty committed to DI & Eco boost as it's platform for growth, with the 2.5 being overlooked I wouldn't be surprised if it is planned to be dropped from the line up in future updates. No sense in throwing R&D money at it for the near term.

It seems like it but it's not. I can do 20k a year and I work from home.

It just all adds up. And it's been consistent enough that I know I'll do that much. That's why I bought the E36 to cut the miles off my primary car.
