My beloved 2001 Ford Focus, Ginger, has passed away.
She gets officially donated to charity tomorrow.
I ADORE this car, and she’s in perfect condition aside from needing $5,000 in engine work. Not a single stain on the upholstery, fabulous exterior and interior. I’d even just had her detailed a month ago.
