Well you may not considering you have moved up way more than us lot. However i bet if you don't already you will eventually get the odd thought cross your mind.

I suppose its probably easier for you though because you may of had enough of them, for example people that work in McDonald's generally don't eat McDonald's...

If I had a 10 car garage then I'd have another to use for a few days a year but right now the only thing I really miss is luggage space, the Sierra was very practical whereas the new car is terrible.. It doesn't even have a glovebox!

Looks like the bumper's melted? Thought it was just wonky but see it all deformed in the plate recess area too. Bit of a bummer if it's a real 500 one?

lol see you have thought about it... It wont be long!

agree with the space issue as same here really, im moving within the next month hopefully so im actually going to lose car spaces but i could fit something in. they are all going up though, all i would say is its all relative. even if owning another escort cost 30k it would always be worth at least that so i don't see it as to much of a problem.
