October 16, 2016. San Antonio, Texas. Subaru.

When Abigail was ready to drive, David gave her the truck.  Sarah was already using his old truck.  He decided that two trucks in the family was enough, so he went in search of a car to drive himself in the city.  In his orderly way, he read all the reports.  The clear winner for safely was the Subaru so he purchased a Subaru Forester.  He is still happy with that vehicle.

Ken was been reading the reports of the new safety features being installed in the 2017 vehicles and decided that we needed all those features for ourselves.  We are old and need all the help we can get with our driving.  Our plan is to trade in our beautiful big Ford 150 on a new 2017 Subaru Forester, one that has all the bells and whistles to keep us safe.  Saturday we stopped at the dealer to sit in the car and to make sure that the car we are ordering has all the features we need.

While we were in Fredericksburg we looked at the Ford Escape, which on the charts is second to the Subaru for safely.  We rejected the Escape.   Our choice was the Subaru.   Our automobile has been ordered and we hope will be here at the end of the month.  It is very exciting to be buying a new car.  Now we just must learn to drive it and use all those gadgets.   Our Ford truck has been wonderful but it is time to get modern.  We await it's arrival.
