  1. Trust me, it's much better in person. My grandfather and father were both inducted into the Cajun French Music Association. The accent on my granfatha was tick. My name came out more like ray-chah. No L lol. If you've seen swamp people, it's pretty much like dat. Mine is not near theirs, but when I am around them it picks up. Mah dahdee really liked his sticka. My northern friends get tickled when I talk and say I talk fast. Pooyii. Don't get me going. Shewwt. I yam gettin tawrd. My dad is Leger, Joseph Leroy and his dad is right above him, Elias Leger. http://library.mcneese.edu/depts/archive/SWLAMusicians/encyclokr.htm
  2. Perfect!! I may have to change her name to Toad! My family will think its perfect. Dad had a ford magazine tonight and they used the ice storm in an article. He kept commenting how pretty it was. Then I showed them a photo of the front grill and explained the screaming potatoe. They got a good chuckle over that.
  3. I know, right? They drive a PT cruiser for their errand car. I can spot it instantly because of the window rain guards, bug shield and tint. It's a snazzy lil car. Sometimes we pass each other in town or out by our houses, I live a lil more south of them. I cannot wait to spot them in town. I usually run into them at the grocery store or Kroger. I can imagine phone calls like this. Now remember, he has a heavy Cajun French accent. Rachel, it's dad. How do I turn the ______ on? Okay. Sorry to bother you. Rachel. Your mamma done pushed some button and I cannot figure out how to turn it off. Rachel. When you get off work can you come by the house. I need you to show me something on my car. And the known question he will ask and he has asked about ALL our vehicles is.... Baby? How many miles you gettin in dat thang? I love my dad but I haven't introduced him to fuelly just yet. He worked out of his car for yrs and is BIG on tracking mpgs.
  4. Aww what a visual. Yes! My baby is waiting for its forever home! Seriously, I have never been this excited about a car. I usually just drive whatever my husband decides. This one is all my doing. I am very proud of myself for the leg work, haggling and patience!! We have a wedding in the family about 45 miles away in march. The perfect trip to take. Hope my dad drives his too. We are gonna have to plan some road trips to take.
  5. I have two routes I can take to work- back roads, limited stopping and thru town and heavy traffic. I cannot wait to test my car and see the difference in ev usage.
  6. Thanks! I am on cloud 9. I dunno how y'all slept knowing the car was becoming a reality. I don't think I will ever order a car again. The wait is too hard. I like instant gratification!
  7. Same here Don. My dad and I tested lots of cars and learned LOTS. I was getting disappointed that I wasn't finding anything that screamed "buy me" but my husband kept telling me I would know. As. Pulled off the lot to test drive it I knew this was the car I wanted. I brought dad a copy of his car's birth certificate tonight. He was so excited. Then I showed him the built date on the bottom and updated him on everyone on the board and all the things I have learned reading here. I showed him some pics on my phone. He asked how to move around on the phone and that was it. He was looking at the gallery pics and commenting on the pics and tints and car colors. I keep telling him to come use the iPad at my house. Much bigger photos! He just laughs. I was worried at first he would have trouble with all the gadgets on the car but clearly not. Must be where I get it from. My mom cannot work their flip phone to save her life lol

    Interesting zhack. My dads edge is doing this. I will have to let him know.
  9. Hopefully it improves. I ordered mine black Friday and it was built today. Delivery expected feb 23.
  10. Lol. Funny. I think there is a cmax driving around town but not sure. Only catch glimpses of it. Maybe one day I I'll see it parked somewhere and can tell for certain.
  11. Congrats. The wait is so hard. My car was built today! Now waiting on delivery. I do t think we will be disappointed.
  12. According to my sticker, my car was built Feb 6, today!!!!!!
  13. Dad's window sticker is available! :::doing happy, happy dance::::: I was getting worried. I asked for an update on the cars on the fb page. She claimed both cars were in production yet I couldn't see his window sticker. I just checked and it's there! It gives a build date of 2/12. Hopefully all is on schedule and they WILL arrive together feb 23!
  14. How frustrating. Hope you hear good news and soon!
  15. That's awesome! So where is this button located exactly? I can just envision myself at the ATM and getting really upset.
  16. The visual on that is funny. Your car apart, not do much. Sorry.
  17. Goodness! Hope it's fixed pronto.

    Now that I have an expected delivery date for my car, I am determined to not spend any more in gas than I have too. Prices are rising fast!
