Roxanne

When you read that title you have to hear Sting singing Roxanne in the background. I'd like to say that when I drive Roxanne to work and back each day that I listen to her theme song on the radio...but the radio doesn't work...in fact, there aren't even speakers in the car. Roxanne is a 1995 Ford Escort 2 door hatchback 5-speed in prestine condition. Don't let the exterior fool you, she's a muscle machine. Okay, so really she's about 1.5 levels up from a piece of junk but what's really imortant is that Roxanne gets about 31 mpg! She may look like a nightmare, but she runs like a dream! You may be thinking to yourself, what would one pay for a beauty such as this...$700, $1000, maybe even $1001. But no, Roxanne cost a miraculous $300...yes, that's $100 off the sticker price, or at least the piece of cardboard that was in the front windows saying it was for sale! The guy I bought her from was asking $400 but using my cunning ability to sweet talk he came off the price $100. So this baby is a cheap Escort that doesn't have to turn on her red light anymore! I know what you're asking yourself now...and no I will not sell it to you!

So here's the deal. My truck gets about 14 mpg and it's paid for and I love it so I just won't sell it. So all summer I was looking for something very cheap to drive to work and back each day with gas prices the way they are. That was my motivation. So now I'm a member of http://www.junkycarclub.com/ and I'm proud of it! This is what I like to call, taking one for team Hartzog!
