This is essentially my car. It's this color, officially called "Cashmere". It's basically a pearl colored car (the lighting in this picture is a little dark) and it looks a lot like the Cadillac Escalade color that I fancied. I'm not really a white car person. But this is just really subtle and shiny! My paint job has an extra clear coat on it to make in extra shiny.

It's a Limited edition 2005 Ford Expedition. It's loaded. 6 disc changer, moon roof, factory installed DVD, leather, 2nd row captain's chairs, heated AND air conditioned front seats, tow package, AdvanceTrac with Roll Stability Control, Safety Canopy system (oversized side curtain airbags), Reverse Sensing System (which means it beeps like crazy if I'm going to hit something going in reverse) and power-adjustable pedals, power-folding heated mirrors, and a self adjusting air suspension system for a smoother ride.

Not that some of this matters to you guys. BUT it only has 42k and we got it for 3k cheaper than any dealer in Dayton would give us and got MORE for our money. We bought it over in Columbus on Sunday.

We're having a bit of car drama at this point, but I'm sure it will all be fixed by the weekend or I'll be returning the car. The air suspension system is having some issues on the passenger side, but I made the dealer put in writing that he would fix it if there was a problem. I'm taking it to the Ford dealership in town this week to have them check it out. They'll pay to have it fixed or I'll return the car and walk to work. Because I traded them my old car. :)

I'll try to post a picture of me with MY real car later this week.
