Since graduating from college, I have had
four cars overall. Not a bad number to have in 6 years! My
first new car out
of college was the 2002
"Desert Silver" Acura RSX. The interior trim is Titanium.
After shopping around for a sporting, luxury coupe, I
feel in love with the RSX. The RSX had everything I was looking
for in my first car. It had power everything, leather, alloy
wheels, automatic climate control, cruise control, 6 speaker CD stereo,
& moonroof. I had a few optional extras added including a 6
CD changer in the trunk along with the cargo net. The RSX
features an i-vtec
engine that cranks out 160 horsepower through the 4 cylinders without
the need for a turbo charger. This car is my baby. I have
it detailed regularly, and even to this day, it looks and smells like
it is a brand new car.
One of the perks of my current employment is a
company car. In February of 2005, my company presented me
with a 2005 black Ford Taurus SE. The company buys us a brand new
car every 65,000 miles, which for me is about every year and
half. The Ford Taurus was nothing
like my Acura, but it was a decent everyday
car. It had power everything, power seat, CD audio, cruise
control, traction control, and a
V6 engine.
I ordered another company car in 2006, and it
is a
nice upgrade from my Taurus. The company got us a 2007 Ford
Fusion SEL that
comes standard with automatic climate control, 6 disc CD changer in
dash with MP3 compatibility, auto dimming rear view mirror with
compass, power everything, leather wrapped steering wheel with
audio/climate/speed controls, 17 inch alloy wheels, fog lights, analog
clock (like on the Infiniti models), side and side curtain
airbags, and heated power mirrors. The car also includes the
following options - ABS, daytime running lights, and power
moonroof. My new company car was delivered to me in October of
2006.
My latest company car is a 2008 Ford Fusion
SEL. This one has all of the features of the previous car plus
leather seats, Sirius Satellite Radio, and SYNC by Microsoft. The
SYNC is cool. It integrates audio controls and my cell phone
through the audio system via blue tooth.
I like having two nice cars to choose from when I go out on the weekends. The company allows us to use the company car for personal use as well so it is nice to have both a four door sedan and also my 2 door sports coupe.
