HENRI'S GOT THE "FEVER"

Peggy Lee’s song, You Give Me Fever, has lyrics that describe Henri: Fever in the morning Fever all through the night. Henri’s got the fever – new truck fever, that is. We don’t know yet if we are going to get a new vehicle, but we checked out 2010 Rangers at the Ford dealers in Marion and Carbondale yesterday. The Marion dealer didn’t have anything we liked, but we found two Rangers in Carbondale, a red one and a dark gray one. They have exactly the same equipment and options. If we purchase a new truck, the only problem is Henri likes the dark gray truck and Ginger likes the red truck. We bought our current truck, a 2002 Ranger, at the end of 2001. It has 22,000+ actual miles and the original tires and battery. It is in excellent condition, similar to that of vehicles driven by old ladies who only use them to drive to church and the liquor store. We’ll have to think about this before we make a final decision. I guess one determining factor will be how high Henri’s fever rises!

  2. How about a 2003 Chevy Trailblazer that is fully loaded? Can check it out at the Cash Baker's bodyshop if interested.

  3. I checked out the Trail Blazer on Christmas Day. Maybe I'll stop by this weekend and take it for a test drive in the snow. Would you consider having it painted red???
