Goodbye, Cobra....Hello...

2006 Ford Explorer XLT V6.



I traded my Cobra in yesterday. It was hard and it was sad, but she had to go. The dealer couldn't stop raving about how perfect the condition of the paint was (and the funny thing is I hadn't detailed it in several months).



Anyways...I now have an Explorer in Dark Blue Pearl Metallic. Quite a nice color...the pictures didn't turn out too great and I couldn't get any good flake shots, but oh well, I'll get 'em next time. I like the Explorer. Very quiet, comfortable ride and it almost handles like a sedan. Ford definitely did a great job on it.



Products used:



- Wolfgang Clay

- Optimum Polish via PC Polishing Pad

- Poorboy's Polish with Carnauba Blue via PC Finish Pad

- Poorboy's Natty's Blue by hand

- Poorboy's Trim Restorer on trim/bumpers



And on to the pics (I didn't detail the interior yet)...

I also have an XLT V6 Explorer (2002). Mine is also very quiet and handles very well for a truck. I love it! Congrats on the new truck! I love the color.
 
Since no one has asked yet, why did you sell the Cobra? I can imagine the reasons for the decision, but I'd like to hear exactly why.

Explorer looks great as well.

I'm getting married and I needed to reduce my payments (I got a great deal on a 2 year lease on the Explorer) and I could use a more family oriented car...
 
My brother just leased a car. Can someone explain the point of that? I try to come up with a situation where it makes sense, but I can't. :think:
