2008 Ford Edge Sport

About This Vehicle:

Despite what many people on the JBO think...This is in fact my daily driver, Not a Corvette. I drive this car everyday and have to say...I love it, It may just be my favorite car i ever owned.

My family has been in the business of doing top notch Ford restos for years now in the Valley. My grandfather started the business of fixing up Fords in the Valley during late 50's. That shop was purchased and turned into Galpin Ford's new wholesale parts warehouse in the late 80's. Later Galpin got the idea of a new version of my Grandfathers shop which became the now famous Galpin Auto Salon from MTV's Pimp My Ride.

In the long tradition of Ford's in my family i'm the sole GM lover. But since i needed a better daily driver and needed something to haul my Camping gear, tools & parts, beach stuff, road/mountain bike, dogs, wife and a quality Vegas cruiser. I decided on the new 2008 Ford Edge Sport. It's not only perfect for me and my needs, it keeps my family happy that i took a small step on the blue oval dark side.

Miscellaneous:
  • As my everyday car it is easily my favorite car i've ever owned
  • It ain't much. But it's a comfortable functional and practical truck'ish like thing that allows me to get where i need to go and looks good. Not fast...and not very off-road worthy (but that's why i have dirt bikes and a sports car) But gets the job done...which is just what a daily driver should do. It drives like a dream
  • comfortable to sit in hours of L.A. traffic
  • can tow desert toys
  • and can load it with tons of stuff for the beach
  • the mountains
  • a road trip or bring home stuff from Lowe's. Just an all around great car...truck...thing.
Future:
  • pay it off so i can have money to eat again. Ramen every night sucks. I'm totally kidding. But yeah I hate having payments on anything so i'll just pay it off as fast as i can.
