Friday Five

1. What kind of car do you drive? 1995 Ford Escort 2 door hatchback.

2. How long have you had it? Since June of 1997 (bought it used for 9000.00) - 8600.00 + 400.00 for the stupid alarm. Had a very high interest rate due to my bankruptcy but was able to pay it off after moving in with DH in 1999.

3. What is the coolest feature on your vehicle? 1. Hatchback (it comes in handy ever so often for big stuff) 2. The color - sunrise canyon red - which looks like a fuscia color.

This is my car in what I think is my color: http://www.southcalifornia.com/carbb9.jpg

4. What is the most annoying feature on your vehicle?

According to me: 1. The fact that it's 2 doors 2. The alarm - I've lost one remote, the other doesn't work, so I had to put the alarm in valet mode. It also just makes noise it actually doesn't disable the starter :(

According to DH: The color (he won't drive it!)

5. If money were no object what would you be driving? A 4 door hatchback car in a cool color. I rented a Ford Focus 4 door in Florida, it was very nice. (I don't know how to drive a BIG car).

Where I live

http://tinyurl.com/plel (not our building however)

184,900.00 for a 1 bedroom. The 2 bedroom 2 bath on the third floor above sold for 230K very recently. (It's the same as ours and was fixed up...yet the new owner decided to replace all the floors with wood, redo the cabinets and junk the stove (which was fairly new).)

Sigh.
