Traded the Trailblazer SS.....

MaverickMLFD371 · October 16th, 2007, 04:49 PM

In a turn of events with working at my fathers company, I took another position that payed more $$ and required a vehicle. with the vehicle I will be making about 100 miles a day (500-600 a week) traveling for the business to the different building locations throughout south jersey and being payed about $.50 a mile from the company in compensation for the vehicle, which puts a big chunk of change in my pocket. so I had to get a vehicle MORE fuel efficient and reliable. so I ended up trading the Trailblazer SS and got me a 07 Ford Focus 5 door hatchback. great fuel economy and a great car to drive.

I now own 2 fords!!

Congrats man

I had an 00' Focus, and put 150,000 miles on it without any major problems. I think you'll like it.

sweeet DD

sound like your gunna be making alot of money at 50 cents a mile

MaverickMLFD371 · October 17th, 2007, 09:05 AM

my brother in law has the same identical vehicle but its an 06, and he averages about 40 HWY mpg, thats impressive for a ford. he did the same thing I had planned, he just threw on a Steeda Cold air intake. cold air = better combustion = even better fuel economy
