Jeepin'

Last week I experienced a different aspect of automotive enthusiasm: off-road driving.  We had tons of fun exploring the trails around Ouray, CO with family and friends.

Cars of CES

Last week work sent me to the Consumer Electronics Show (CES).  While I worked most of the time, I escaped for a bit and found a few special automobiles.  I guess I'm not the only geek that loves cars :-)B-).

Ken Block's Ford "Fiesta ST"  - He was on hand too...

Ella Has a New Stablemate

This weekend we bought a new car to replace the VW Beetle (bon voyage little green bug!).  It is a 2012 Ford Focus 5-Door (aka hatchback) in the terrific candy blue color. 

Why this car, you ask?  Because T. loved it, of course!

Seriously though, we were looking at Ford because we wanted to add an American presence to our garage.  The SUV options felt too big, and then we saw this hatchback.  Did I mention the color? I think T. would have bought a horse carriage if they painted it this color!  (Just kidding, honey ;-)).

All in the Stable

Ever since we moved into the house, we have wondered if our oversize two car garage would actually fit our three (relatively small) cars.  Tonight we quit wondering and found out.

The Stable

The threat of hail storms might have helped our motivation a bit...

Bug Infestation!

I arrived home tonight to find my driveway infested with green beetles!  I guess I should be kinder to Porsche family relatives ;-).
