Good news/ Bad News

Good news is I got my 2013 Ruby Red Ford Fusion

 

Bad news is, it's pictured below.

 

 

Not as roomy as one would hope.

At least you haven't lost a sense of humor! And it also looks like you are afraid of the human shrinkenator ? to test drive your new ride.

[LASooner]

I'm more scared it will only shrink certain parts.

hahaha! Awesome!

Which rims do the models have? Those look like the HyTi rims don't they?

[kuzzi]

If my maths are right (and they seldom are) and that's a 1:43 model, then EPA estimates 1.093mpg for that beauty. I wouldn't expect much more from a 46.5mL engine.

It's a 2.0 Ecoboost Titanium, it has the same rims and it has the dual integrated exhausts.

Finally got my HyTi today, after waiting 3 weeks for a seatbelt repair, I get there, and I sh*t you not, the rear middle seatbelt buckle was missing!! :doh: :rant: :rant2:

 

The manager must have seen a look on my face because he told the salesman, to pull a Fusion from the lot with a charcoal interior and swap out the belt, I said, "Where was this line of thinking 3 weeks ago?!!?" So they go to swap it out and discover that the buckle was inside the top of the seat, they must have closed it up inside when they replaced the bad one. Needless to say, they knocked off $3000 and will be giving me several free fill ups over the next couple months. In the end, I finally have my car and they did give me quite a bit to make me happy.

 

Will post pics tomorrow.

Sounds like incompetence to me; glad you got incentives out of this and of course finally you new toy!

 

Congrats and enjoy!

1st commute through LA traffic, I got 47.9 mpg on my way to work, and 35.5 on my way home. Avg for the whole 70 mile roundtrip commute 41.7 mpg. That was basically driving as I normally did in my GMC jimmy. still at 31.1 lifetime mpg since I picked it up though.

 

It's been covered in brush fire ashes the last few days, so I bought a California duster.
