Finally. Bliss behind the wheel.
Well after Cars Direct caved, I found a local dealer and got a 07 SE Galactic Grey Mica. I was at the dealer and he showed me a silver one...."this one has a lot of bling" he said.....I said "I'm not a bling kinda guy....LOL....so we found the SE in Mica and washed it up. It was parked in an outer lot covered in dust. Washed up perfect....got a good deal. It has every option that I wanted but no Nav. plan to add that later. Took it home over Highway 80 and the XREAS suspension is a dream. Playing with windows, moonroof. Added a cargo net today. Sits up high, looks fantastic feels even better.....Pics are coming.....

It really is an excellent vehicle to drive....sometimes I forget just how good if I haven't driven one in awhile. It's downright amazing that a REAL body-on-frame SUV can drive so effortlessly.

I am so impressed. The ride quality to me is the best I have ever had. This is a very sophisticated machine. Sitting in it and it's capabilties is impressive. I am at 150 miles so far...I am learning about the handling characteristics and at this point I will say the combo of power, smooth transitions really makes the freeway a much safer drive now. I am waiting to try the other features 4WD and DAC. Wow, glad I waited.....This is an awesome vehicle.

hahaha, i wish i wish. i'll try to get myself out of the store and have a day off, hopefully. since my store is still new, only 7-8 months, a lot of stuff still not too stabilize and so far, i'm stuck at the store 7 days a week, no day off for me yet. even though i have the truck for more than 2 months so far, it is only ticking on 1400 miles on the clock. i bet there's more member around the area but just need to gather up! so far i've seen some club were having meets in the parking lot where my store is. evo meet, honda meet, Z meet and some stang meet...
