    New Company vehicle

    here's our new "short bus". Replaced an aged 2001 Ram service truck with a new Ford Transit Connect. Puts a huge smile on my face every time it gets filled up. $28 filled verses $100 and get nearly the same miles out of it! Funny trend is every woman that sees it says how cute and how logical it is, every guy says how gay it is. Don't care its a great service truck!

    Love the hubcaps :D What's up with the side door ... Is the key lock on the opposite end as the door handle?? Seems odd.

    Vision of having to dress in a tuxedo and have "theme" music playing before opening the hood ... would seem easier to just use the Walther and blast it open.

    what kind of graphics are you going with for the company name?

    flames or unicorns and bunny rabbits?

    I hope I have furnace problems this winter, just so I can have that vehicle in MY driveway.

    For small jobs they work great...although an awd or slightly higher riding model would be great.

    it holds 90% of what we have in our f-250's and has been averaging 19 mpg vs. the 9 i get in my 04 f-250 doing the same job. it is quite amazing what fits in it with the hvac shelving package installed.

    Best I ever got in it was 11mpg and i've drove it since it was new in 2004. Still have it and another f-250 install truck with a liftgate, both are 4x4's with 5.4's and are lucky to get double digit mileage.
