All in good fun, but I just don’t get half doors...

Thanks guys! This one spec’d out somewhere around half a million. They are extremely expensive!
Dave! What’s up man?! Hope all is well! I’ve got a trip planned to Hidden Falls the second weekend in Oct and then I’m gonna try and get it out to barnwell for a day run/maiden voyage type deal. We need to plan something!

UPDATE!
Big news - wonderful things have happened and after almost 200 days on the market, my house is finally under contract. The sale will close on Sept. 3rd so we are not completely out of the woods yet, but then all the money I have been sinking into the house I wasn’t living in will be sinking into Remi! Big plans for ole girl coming.
I’ve been shopping around for a daily driver/commuter car that I could use for work. This would allow me to put Remi on 37s
Remi’s inaugural trip is scheduled for October 9th-11th. We are headed to Hidden Falls for three days of wheeling and camping! Can’t wait!
Stay tuned - I think in celebration of all this great news Remi needs her first mod. [emoji16]

Congrats on the house. That’s a big weight off your shoulders

Thanks guys! It isn’t over until Sept 3rd, but each day that we get closer, the weight gets less and less each day.

Remi gained an older sister this weekend. It’s always been my dream to own a second car for work purposes and daily driving. The nature of my job requires me to leave Remi parked outside for 24 hours at a time, and sometimes that just makes me a little uneasy where I work. Also, now that the build is on the horizon, I don’t want to sacrifice anything and really want to build Remi into a gentle giant.
Enter Ruby. Ruby is a 2016 Ford Fusion SE. she’s got just a hair under 34k miles on her, and is still under factory warranty. While up visiting family this weekend, my 90 year old great grandmother who no longer drives offered the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to buy this car for payoff if I had the cash in hand that day. I did, and walked away with this thing at 10% of its BB value and the title in hand. It was truly an offer I could not refuse.
The name Ruby comes from the color of the fusion being Ruby Red, also my grandmother’s name that sold it to me was Ruby, I thought it fit.
Ruby isn’t perfect though, and needs a little work. She has some moderately noticeable hail damage on the hood, roof, and trunk lid. She also has some pretty good back bumper scuffs, as well as general scratches, dents, and dings from the previous 90 year old driver. She also needs new tires, wheels(eaten alive with curb rash), as well as a new rack and pinion steering assist(covered under warranty) Once I get the new wheels and tires installed, I’ll drop her off for a clay bar, buff, and wax and get her really shining.
Overall, it’s a great riding and driving car. I am averaging 30mpgs with the 2.5L 4 cylinder. Most importantly, this is the first car I’ve ever paid off in 27 years, and the first time I’ve ever held a Texas Blue Title.
Stay tuned for more on Remi & Ruby. [emoji16]
ALSO - poll for the masses. Do you think Ruby would look better with black or polished/silver rims ? Let me know!
