The bugs are going to be horrible since we never got enough cold days to kill any of them off.

My wife and I felt it best to trade it in while it had positive money in it before I started driving it every day and running the miles up on it. I only put 12000 miles on it in 30 months. Unfortunately I did not go back to a ford. We did test drive the taurus limited edition. I just was not comfortable in it. To much stuff built around me. No room to wiggle.

Fortunately I did have uninsured. It has also taught me to take a closer look at my coverage limits I was carrying. Those have been changed just a tad. The uninsured so far is a blessing but it cant make the burdens that the wreck caused to go away.

I went with another Kia Optima. This time its the 2012 SX version. I can at least claim its got an oval decal. I'm pretty happy with it. Ford just didnt fit my likes this time for what I was after.

Hope it turns out to be a goos one. Kia is making some pretty good cars now. I thought maybe I wanted one of those Souls and keep my 2005 truck, but just couldn't do it.

How can you live in the country without a truck? I couldn't do it.
