Oh in all my updates below I forgot! Ethan got another car...

Maybe this car will be the one that lasts through till he graduates. He has gone through two so far.
The Probe has gone to the... ? where do dead cars go? I don't know.

I guess you could say it has become an organ donor for other cars.
I am sure it is being parted out to make other Probes work again...

The Mercury had failed and it would cost more than we paid to buy it to fix it.

But it has found a new life.
The mechanic bought it from us so he can rebuild it for his own car.


So now he has his first car that is not black.
A Ford Escort.


Fair Oaks Ford in Naperville had this car on the lot.
And they were willing to deal so we were able to get a very good price for this and it is running very well.
Rides nice and seems very solid.
And it it the first car he has had that is not missing a hub cap!

I haven't told him yet that red cars are more likely to be pulled over.


OK now that is three cars... the next one Ethan buys for himself.
