FLEX

One week ago today we signed papers on our BRAND NEW FORD FLEX. It is the 1st BRAND NEW vehicle either Amber or I have ever owned. It is a 2013 and we got it with like 17 miles on it (or something like that). Can you believe that we qualified with no money down and with payments low enough that we can afford to keep the Pruis also. Our insurance company really worked with us too. They were able to get us coverage while only raising our monthly cost less than $100. Everything really seemed to fall into place with this purchase. So, without further ado.........

I present to you.......

KRUSTI!



Here is the front view and then from the back


It can seat 8. Which is what we needed. Especially because we have all of the girls and then Brennen, Amber, Gladys, and myself. We really have outgrown the Pruis. Anytime we ALL wanted to go somewhere we had to make two trips to get us all there. But now... we all fit!



The back row of seats can flip up for seats, fold half way down, and then can lay flat for lots of trunk space. They even flip backwards for tailgates, or watching parades, etc. They just happen to be flat in the pictures because we had a dresser back there earlier that day.

As you can see from the next picture we have only had Krusti for 7 days and already have put some miles on it (740)....It made a trip to Albuquerque on Tuesday. (More of that on a different post).


We are really enjoying it. It is averaging about 20 miles per gallon....but does take about $50 to fill up with gas. This is a change compared to the Pruis that fills up at $27. It has already saved us tons in time and mileage though. Amber now drives the Pruis to work (in Artesia) daily because it gets better gas mileage. But now that we have Krusti we are not required to make 2 trips a day to Artesia and back. It has been nice.
