Thank you Administrators for activating my account.

Just last week we got our Hiedy, she is such a wonderful ride, so much diff. then the vans.

Hiedy has been a great addition to our family, even the kids get exited about going for a ride in her, I think it is because they have window access now. The mini van has no working windows for the rear except the rear wings.

She is a lusty looking Sandstone 2LT package with the 2.4, ebony interior, heated leather seats, sun roof, 17" wheels, remote start, fog lights, and what ever else comes with this package. SHe has 29,000 on her and the way we mileage up, when she's paid off in 5yr she will prob. have 50,000, that may be a high estimate.

To get Hiedy, I traded in my 2001 Ford windstar I got in 2004 with 52,000, it had 68,000 when we parted. The other Windstar is a 2002 we got in 2002 with 11 miles on her that was the newest car we ever got, still have that with 46,000 right now. We don't rack up the miles for sure.

I am looking at painting the calipers and drums on my vacation, and maybe doing a little chrome work to her also. once we get her blinged out the way we want then I will start some performance stuff, maybe a turbo charger if Hahn gets one working and it is feasible, sway bars, a muffler system, have to hear them, I know we are running a 4 not sure if I want it to sound more like a ricer or if i can get it to sound a little heftier, not up on all the muffler stuff, I will have to listen to some to decide. I have been stuck in sencable family cars for 10 plus years now, the only other car that made me purr some was a 1997 tuarus, we needed to up size to the vans faster then I wanted.


Didn't realize how long this got, I will end hear, I look forward to talking to others hear about their rides and who knows maybe we will see one another on the road.

Welcome to the site...

... we all find ourselves getting long winded about our rides. HHRs have a way of doing that.
