David finally said goodbye to his long-suffering 1987 Nova and bought a new 2006 Ford Focus ZX4 SE. (The color is called Light Tundra - kind of a forest green.)
A down payment, higher insurance rates, and monthly payments for years to come were the only drawbacks to having a dependable car with air conditioning, good pick-up, air bags, solid construction and a radio/CD player.
I understand the Nova will be sold at auction (I got $500 for the trade-in) and will probably end up with a second life on the streets of Mazatlan, Mexico. I kind of hope so.
Anyway, I thought you might like to see the source of both my excitement and my buyer's remorse.

Wow. Very, very cool, David. You really were prudent with your old car and the new one is very much deserved. Congrats. I hope we can ride in it sometime!
