Pictures are coming, but Carol 2.0 is here and kicking... not my first choice in cars because the Impreza 5dr has not come in yet but they expect it later in the year and I, unfortunately, needed a car now. It is my first American car, and perhaps my last, but for now I'll give it a fair shake and see if the Ford Focus 5dr can hold its own against the rigors of a working triathlete dad of two boys. The upside, I'm doing my part to stimulate this abysmal economy by keeping the money in the good 'ol US of A and more importantly in the state of Michigan, which has been in steady decline over the last few years. I felt good about that fact and the 40 mpg doesn't hurt either... the downside, I still had to fork over $20,000 spread over 3 years... booo. Need wheels and have to just move on...
Had a great weekend of hanging my my old college roommate who is now the team physician for the Louisville football team and then come golf with Tom on Sunday to cap it off. Not very productive at all and wished that they both weren't on the same weekend but oh well, I am thankful for the time with each of them.
