Disappointing

Flew into Seattle last night and went down to National’s Emerald Isle to pick out a car. All they had were trucks and SUVs. It was odd. I could have gotten an F150, Silvarado crew cab or a RAM in multiple colors, a selection of Jeeps or a handful of other small SUVs. I picked a Ford Edge as I had never driven one. Frankly, I am disappointed in how truck/large SUV the ha sling is like. Steering is numb, brakes take more movement than I would like and it just kind of feels blah. I had expected better.

Seattle is beautiful. The Ford Edge is not. If you have time, take a ferry to Bainbridge Island to get the best ice cream and coffee that you have had in a while.

Ford have made the Edge available to buy in the U.K.

Even a range topping Vignale model.

Not sure how it’s going to go down here.

Thanks for the suggestion. I grew up it here before I moved to Atlanta in the 90s. We are only here for a day before heading to Tokyo. I like the Bremerton ferry ride myself.

I'm just surprised at how ugly the new ones are. A few years ago they looked pretty good, especially in sport trim. Now? Ug.

I had hoped to hit Taco Time, but it wasn’t meant to be.

Oh really, where at? Bremerton has a great ferry ride, but the downside is going to Bremerton.

Maple Valley. The fun part of the Bremerton run is seeing the Navy ships.
