Maybe a Fusion; at least that's the main thing I'm looking at. Have a Focus which has been great for me, but just want something a bit bigger, but still reasonable small (not a truck fan, personally).

I've cleaned a few of the newer model Taurus....they are a solid ride with all the options and still good gas mileage. Just depends on need and how much you drive.

In 8 years with my Focus, I've driven it roughly 75K miles. Mainly local (1-60 mile) drives.

That's fairly low. I'd give the Taurus and Fusion both a good look. That driving pattern virtually any car would do.

I may or may not have bought a new XDs last night. It may or may not have been nice to purchase with my CHL and not have to go through the NICS process.

I bought a new gun. Ohio has recently changed their laws, so I was able to purchase without going through the background check process because I have my concealed carry license. Or maybe I didn't.

Ah, you were questioning why I needed a new gun. I'm glad you don't have the energy to discuss it, because it's none of your business, really.

Eh personal safety is my business. You owning more guns increases my likelihood of being shot.

9? 45?

The "Croatian Sensation" in 9mm is the wife's EDC. Solid as hell (the gun I mean).

Are you planning to violate my life, liberty, or property? If not, my gun is zero threat to you...and again, none of your business.

It's the 4" 9mm. It's actually the 3rd XDs I've owned. I bought a 45 several years ago but traded it for a 9mm because 45 rounds were too expensive for my tastes at the time. Then I bought a Shield and sold the XDs to my mom. I've regretted that ever since so I decided to get another one.

Just bought 20 pounds of unroasted coffee beans.

Paid 0.03 BTC for it all. ;)

I'm really upset I didn't buy in at $1200 when I was looking a while back.

Do you think this is a worthwhile discussion? I have no illusions of being able to get your see my side. Thus, seems like a waste of time.
