In the past month, the Ford Fiesta that I won has been treated with more care and better treatment than my Acura has ever received.
I have had my Acura since 2004 and it is a 1999 edition. It has seen it's share of bumps and dirt. The Fiesta has now seen it's share of vacuums and suds. I make sure it is clean and tidy.
I am sorry Acura-- I don't feel a lurking presence from a higher authority in our relationship-- the Fiesta has a stronghold.
Here is some footage of the cleanliness of the Fiesta. Enjoy.
Shout out to University Car Wash-- I go there to get the car cleaned and vacuumed.
I took the Fiesta for some fuel. I love that I have a gas card for 6 months, it's a huge perk! The card is amazing and the car only needs gas like once a week! I haven't taken any long trips, but I didn't even have to fill up until I reached Easton from Northern Jersey! Sweet digs.
The push-pop door for the gas tank is really fantastic as well. There's no cap for the tank, so there's no crawling under the car, getting gasoline on your hands, grease marks on clothing, or chances of someone peeing in the tank. There's a tiny latch that closes when you pull out the hose-- that's what she said--Gross.
Exxon has this little television screen that has CNN on when you pump gas. I don't think this is necessary. Granted--it could inform a person of news of an attack (thinking post 9/11 world...blah) or of the death of a celebrity, but honestly, is it that worth while? I don't think it is. I don't like 24 hour news stations. I think it's bogus to have them. You should read the news, listen to it on the radio or catch it at the specific times, preferably on PBS. But that's just me.
Also-- when you're about to hear a story-- your tank is full and the news stops. Can't it just wait until you turn your car back on, get home, or maybe receive and update on your iPhone/Blackberry?
The next time I get gasoline it will be for my adventure to Salem VA to see the NCAA Division III Championship weekend!
