My New-To-Me Ford XLT

I took these pictures just on a whim and my husband thought I was crazy and now I’m posting them which makes me even more crazy.  I guess it’s what I do when my husband is out home teaching and I’m sitting here being a little bored.  You could say I’m a little bored and excited at the same time because I’m posting about my new (new to me) vehicle I bought this past weekend.  I’ve been looking for months for a new vehicles, an SUV to be exact.  When I went to Utah this past week I was looking on kslcars.com when I came across a Ford Explorer XLT……a 2006 with almost 100,000 miles.  My nephew (by marriage) works as a mechanic at the place that was selling the vehicle so I had him check it out before I got too excited.  He stated that it had never been a wreck, had all original parts, rode really nice and seemed to be an ok vehicle so I bought it.  Agh-h-h-h!  I hope buying an older vehicle with that many miles doesn’t come back to bite me.  It cost more than I make in a year so that in itself was a pretty scary purchase for me.  I did, however, pay extra to get a 100,000 mile, 5-year warranty.  Not far from home, my new vehicle turned to 100,000 miles.  I pulled off the road, which my husband thought a little strange, and took pictures.  Pictures from both sides of my vehicle, the front, and the actual mile gauge.  I know, C-R-A-Z-Y, but that’s the way my life is sometimes.  Have to entertain myself somehow!
