Father's Day

The previous post was called Mother's Day and I'm naming this one Father's Day.  I know it's not Father's Day yet, but today marked a momentous occasion for the father of the Samour household.  Today Rob became the proud owner of a 2012 Ford Focus!  The make and class of the car may not impress some, but we should all be impressed by the fact that this is Rob's FIRST new car  - in -  his -  entire -  life!  He was never the type to have to drive the latest and greatest (duh! we all recall the gold duster, do we not?) but let it also be known that he always put the needs of others (that would be me) in front of his.  So the brand new and sporty Focus in the driveway is his to commute to work and tool around town.  How nice it will be for him to drive the 30 miles each way to work without having to worry about a breakdown! And with a 40 mpg highway average, hopefully he'll enjoy a greater fuel economy.  Wanna see it?


It's snazzy, right?



Yes it's only a 4 banger but it's equipped with Sirius radio AND sync, which makes your car a personal computer, able to make calls, take calls, send and receive texts, play music through your usb, all voice activated.  It's pretty cool.  Check out Sienna's face as her phone dials the car...



Rob plans on passing this car on to Sienna when she matures to driving age; what a lucky duck!



Until then, he'll enjoy the perks of a brand new car.  My 300 may be the smoother ride, but his Focus kicks techno butt!  Good for you Daddy, you deserve it!
