In the market for a used car and was focused on a Jeep liberty or Ford Escape. After test driving and looking at a dozen or so of them I came home with this. 2007 with V6 rwd. 102,000 miles, with alittle rust, but the deal was too good to pass up. I actually enjoy driving it more then my 2009 dodge ram. Probably because it is something different. I am going to Ann Arbor in a couple of weeks and I think I will take the Jeep instead of the ram, trying to keep miles down on the 09. We will see how she does!! Daugther is grateful and pays gas and insurance. The least I could do for a girl who has a job, straight A's, varsity tennis and softball and will drive her brother everywhere he needs to be also.
Well, the daugther turned 16.......

Sounds like you have a really good kid, mine were too, but I still made a point of sharpening bayonets and oiling various firearms when they turned 16. Odd thing, no teenaged semen dispensers showed up at my door. Both girls turned out well, one is a chemical engineer, the other is an RN.

Nice! What will you be doing in Ann Arbor? That’s like a hop, skip and a jump from me.

License? That is a Canada thing, pass a background check and buy it. There are some places in the US where the crazies have taken over where a firearm license is issued, but mostly in the People's Republic of California and a few big cities.

The Woodward Dream Cruise is August 17th and some of the best cruising on the planet happens during the weeks preceding it. If you can break away and head east about 40 minutes one evening we could meet on the Ave. and stop by my shop too.
If you’ll be in town on the 17th you could catch a glimpse of an event that’s on every car guy’s bucket list unless they’ve been under a rock for the last 15 years.
As far as food & drink in Ann Arbor? It’s been a while but I’m sure there’s no shortage.

Sounds like a good kid you raised there.
