I love Barrie by the way, usually come down there in the early Spring / Summer by the Marina, enjoying some Seadoo action, and just soaking up the atmosphere
We should meet up next time I am in town?
We are always out hiking and doing outdoor stuff and always up for more company.

I'm fine and the kids were with their mother so they were not involved...

Anybody buy a new car lately, what did you get, and how is it with younger kids.
I wonder if you'll be posting a future "issues with ex" thread, shortly after you obtain your new vehicle. lol.
One of my "child pickups" went like this, after I got my latest truck.
Child: "Daddy, you got a new truck!"
Me: "Yep, the old one finally died..."
Background: (ex slamming door, without saying bye to child)

I'm sure she will say something. It was funny when she dropped the kids off the first day and I had a different car in the driveway. Did you get a new car? ... NO ... Whose car is that? .... Rental .... Where is your car .... The shop .... Why? .... Who cares .... OH You don't have to be like that.

Thanks for everyone's great advice.
I finally got a settlement number from the insurance company which was a little less than I expected as they do not insure extended warranties. I have to apply to Mazda to get a refund on that.
Anyway, I'm pretty sure I'm going to buy a Ford Fusion SE. I've driven one already but I'm going to look at one on a different lot with different features tonight.

The hybrid is $8000 more.
Can't justify that difference.
I am getting the SYNC etc.
EDIT: It was a last minute addition. A friend had one and recommended it. I drove it and it is a really nice car.
It seems that to get the Bluetooth and Sirius I had to get the higher model versions with the other companies. Ford had it pretty much standard. Having SYNC and Ford MyTouch is just a bonus IMO.
My kids want a sunroof/moonroof but it looks like I might have to disappoint themLast edited by FB_; 09-19-2013, 02:52 PM.

My house is mostly clutter free but it's amazing how much of a mess kids can make in one weekend. I'm still trying to clean up, but I've been sick and car shopping, and working 2 jobs.
