With 241K miles on her and timing chain noise starting to rear its ugly head (and the A/C broken for about a year now) we finally signed up for car payments again, purchasing a private lease/one owner 2014 Fusion Titanium that we applied the Sport Trac to as trade equity.
We had the truck since new (14 years, the longest we've ever held onto a vehicle, that's how much we loved it!), but my wife was tiring of driving a truck/SUV and wanted a sedan again with more modern amenities.
I enjoyed being a member here, especially the early years where I shared a LOT of our modifications and updates via member projects, even coordinating several Sport Trac meets in Florida and driving up the ones in Georgia.
We thought about a gen 2 when they were new, but the timing was not right for us financially. With one child married and gone and the other graduating college soon (and the condition the Sport Trac was in) it was finally the right time in 2016.
Thanks to all the friends I've made here over the years and I won't be closing my account. I'll still pop in every few months like I do now just to see what's up.
Take care everyone!
