    Well it had 100330 on the odo. and was falling apart..

    Our fleet division called me and told me to bring it in and get my new one.. I arriaved and they had two vehicles , I couldnt believe when they told me I could pick from either an F150 or a crossover suv....

    I chose a 07 freestyle aka taurus x.

    Ive had it a week, Im averaging 18mpg in the city with the 4.0 liter V6 coupled with a CVT tranny. Compaired to my van that averaged 13mpg in the city.

    I did ask if I could have a hybrid, but they said no.. they had 5 hybrid escapes but they where going to the civil div.
    :(

    It seems everyone is waiting for Jan 08 before worring about the tax cuts in fla. most cities have found ways to cut a million or so out of their spending bugets..
