As many people know, Steve was driving a "hot" black Mustang that everyone in town loved. I must say, it was a very nice car however, it was not very preactical and the thought of stuffing someone or something in the back seat was laughable at best. We always had to take my Ford everywhere because we never knew who would be joining us or if we'd be bringing home doors to install in tha basement. Whoever gets Steve's car will get a gem as it only had 6000 miles on it so it made for a very sweet trade in car.
I loved driving the car. Getting in was not really a problem, it was getting out of it that posed issues for me, and admitedly, Steve as well. Driving it in the winter was a hzaard to say the least. It is so low to the ground that you get stuck in even the smallest snow bank. What's worse is that when there was a lot of snow you couldn't see around the snow banks and would have to pull half way out into the road to see what was coming. It was a fun car in any event.
Steve's new Lacrosse is very nice. A good old family man car. It has lots of fun things and the drivers seat is like sitting in the cockpit of an aircraft. Unlike myself, Steve knows what all the buttons are for and won't crash into a pole trying to figure it out like I will. (See previous entry). We now have two practical cars that we can take where ever we go. I have to say this, Steve spent weeks and weeks researching the car he wanted. Every day I waited to see what the car of the day was. After he got that down the next issue was color. That was a little more limited but an issue nonetheless. It is a very nice car and I'm sure he's enjoyng it but has been hearing a lot of crap about trading his "hot Mustang".
