    Ya, I am fresh out of room. Garage full and driveway called for.

    It's funny you brought that up though cause that determined my choice. It would be the VX or that.... and sry VX lovers but it was a close call. To get it, I would probably get rid of the VX. So.... I decided that the VX stays. For now. Changing manifold gaskets one more time and if the CEL comes back for the same reason one more time.... she gets sold to some random Russian who wants a S/C, hahaha. THEN..... I get an old RS.

    We recently picked up a 2010 Fusion Sport with 3.5L and 6 speed auto. She traded in her 05 mustang, and we are loving the Fusion. It's a zippy machine with 260 HP.
    I'm still driving a 2003 Escape with 130k miles on it... But I have the VX and my bike too.

    Ford is getting excelent remarks about its current products,especial mention for the fusion
    They were able to "jump" over the fence & void goverment bailout help.
    Lately i've thoughts about getting a cross bike;Saturday morning i drove by a cycle dealer & chech out this 250cc yamaha TT in blue/white.
    This sales guy in his early 20's asked me why a motocross instead of one of the big guys,such as a CRB ?
    Told him:Look,i drives a VehiCROSS so a MotoCROSS would add up nicely to the team.
    He looked at me like: WTF you're talking about ? A vehi what ? VehiCROSS i replayed;He thought i was messing with him so had to show him what i was talikng about,we walked out side the parking lot & show him what i meant.
    He was like: ! holly s... What is that ?
    I told you,The VehiCROSS
    Oh,ok,alright....I got you ! He said.
    But that cars looks very weird though.
    Yes,my mother n' law says the same thing too. He laugh.
    My girlfriend looked at me protesting : Don't mess with her,some day she'll be physically able to get into the rear seats & drive with us.

    With all that he say :That bike is running for 6K,but we have "recession sale" right now so you can drove off the show room for $4900 with oil change free for an year
    I told him I need to check out my bank (capital one) to look at my options.
    The sales guy say don't worry,the price is firm 'till recession is over,most likely for the next two/three years to come LOL
    I noticed that i was the only visitor at the dealer during the 35+ minutes i spent in there,very sad though, especially at a dealer who sales all motocycle brands
    Dakar was just the begining.

For me happened to be a 20 foot drop which i had to bail off bike lol.. Shoulder is paying for it today lol.

    Well I couldnt pass up what I paid for it really. 2,500 and its a '06. I looked and looked and couldnt find anything better on price.


    Ya I love it and glad I went with a 450 as my first dirt bike . Super easy to ride as apposed to my buddies 2 stroke (even tho his is older I am sure the newer ones are a bit better but still.)

    yikes...450 for a first bike??? thats a lot of power...

    just wait till the first time it lifts on you unexpected...i would bet money you will pull the throttle like any newbie...thats the advantage of a smaller bike to learn on, it doesnt launch you at 90mph lol...

    glad your enjoying it, be careful, you have a big machine under you.
