Default The time has come

Well after owning a new ST170 the pinnacle of Focus technology ( well until the XR5 ) for the last 3 1/2 years, and having nothing major go wrong... until I’m out of warranty and then spending close to $5500 in the last 4 months on the damn thing.

The time has now come to move on, yesterday I went and ordered my new car yey !

Will be getting it in a few weeks

What will I be getting!

The bets are on as to what my new car is!

What do you think I have bought?

You're all wrong.

Early indications were it'd be a Subaru potentially, I'm guessing given his proof of sitting in a Liberty that he's spent time at a Subie dealership... so a Forester would be my pick, guessing a Turbo too.
