Shakedown cruise

By substitute on August 14, 2010

Costa Mesa -> Riverside -> Indio -> Salton City -> Anza Borrego -> Julian -> Escondido -> Riverside -> Costa Mesa.

Temperatures up to 112 F, climb up a mountain at 90F, lots of twisty roads, 367 miles, 35 MPG.

Yeah, I think I’ll keep the Fiesta.

That’s a spectacular picture. And impressive Fiesta performance.

There’s a reason that the Fiesta/Festiva is the car that you get when you are in Europe and ask for “something zippy and good on gas.” Ha.
I think they should change the name, though. Ford Vigoroso!
