Our New Car

[Slow Joe]

Well, we got a '07 Corolla S, as some of you may of noticed from the Classifieds Thread.

Here are the pictures of our last day with the Mustang & Fusion and us picking up the Corolla S.

We're a 1/2 Ford 1/2 Toyota Family now... It's kinda strange... But I think I'll get use to it...

Corolla S Specs:

Moonroof, Alloys, All the power goodies, Styling Kit, etc, etc...

You should be glad for all the potential that has been gained... Plus TRD makes a supercharger kit for the Corolla :rolf

[Poncho]

yea, now when you move to the new place, Kristie's cars can park in the garage :rolf

[Slow Joe]

yea, now when you move Kristies cars can park in the garage :rolf

What garage? The place we're moving to don't have garages... Yet another reason why I didn't want to keep the '01... I'd of gone insane if it'd of had to sit outside yet another year...

[Poncho]

whoa whoa whoa... no garage either??? Jeez Joseph. you need a tarp.

[BAD LS1]

Boy they arent kidding when they say "moving forward" , new wife, get rid of the old fords for a new jap economy car... new apt w/o garage... that would be too many changes for me in one year lol Time for a brake job lol

[Slow Joe]

Yeah, lots of changes....

You know something, it was for the better.... Plus I have a game plan to get a different car in the near future...

[Brandon W.]

i cant believe you got rid of two for one..didn't you just get that Fusion?

[Brian98GTP]

What you needed to do was to have a picture taken of you two in the middle of a jump with your arms up.... that way it'd be like the old Toyota commercials.

"I love what you do for me.... TOYOTA!"

:thumbsup

[WilliamZ]

Not a bad purchase!

[Lash]

Nice car. My wife loved hers. The only reason why we got rid of it is because she needed something bigger...so we picked up a new RAV-4. It was a great little car that got rally good gas mileage. They handle pretty good too. It's like a little go-cart!

[nismodave]

This car fits her much better!!

[Poncho]

is it just me or does it look like yea Joe is in the pictures, but if you look in his eyes, thats definately not happy looks, and his smile is forced on.

[Slow Joe]

You know something... I was in the sun for 7 hours that day, way tired and so on... I like the car, and at this time it was the best decision that we could make.

Like I said, I'm going to get another car, it won't be another V6, but it'll be a fun toy. Will I miss the car, yes. It was my first Mustang, and I owned it for 6 years, but some times you have to know when to move on.

Thanks for the compliments everyone. And Dan... You're done. Oh, and stop looking into my eyes, that shit freaks me out.

[Poncho]

I LOVE YOU JOE. Pants on or pants off you're still my buddy.

[Slow Joe]

I LOVE YOU JOE. Pants on or pants off you're still my buddy.

Ohhhh :stare :stare :stare :stare WTF

[RanJer]

Ohhhh :stare :stare :stare :stare WTF

Atleast there's a back seat in the Corrola for you two...

what he said *2

[johnny--2k]

yay.....at least now I dont have to be the only import at Culvers from BCM.....:banana1:



Congrats on the purchase! Should be a fun car and it'll run just about forever!:thumbsup

[Poncho]

Can I now be regarded as Mustang Dan? or 06v6stangpwr?

[Beagle]

i miss the gas mileage my corolla had.

[turbogarrett]

No offense, but it's time to buy a car with some cojones! The $$ you spend on taxes, licensing etc. when transfering from econocar to econocar every year would be better spent on a true sportscar. Not trying to be a ****, but I just dont get it:confused

[Reverend Cooper]

^ you dont know the whole situation, joe and kristie's decision is the best fiscally responsible one they can make at this time. financially it will get them alot farther ahead.

When you're putting on 30+k miles/year it's not worth it. No money spent on taxes on this car, since what we traded was worth more than the purchse price of the car.

I have no garage to put a "true sportscar" in so it's not worth the purchase at this point.

The Corolla wasn't meant to be a "sports car". It's a driver, and it's going to be driven. My guess is that in 6 years the car will have well over 180k miles on it, and with gas at $3.30+/gal it's not worth getting anything else.

Edit: Plus what do you mean econobox to econobox every year?? I owned my Mustang for 5 years and 11 months. Yeah, we had just gotten the Fusion, but that's NOT an econobox. The Fusion is a well made American midsize "luxury" car.

Can I now be regarded as Manlove Dan?
