Dh took the kids car shopping Saturday when I was sleeping, (brave man!) and brought this one home to test drive. We loved it, so this morning we drove 40 minutes to the dealership and bought it.
Thanks to everyone for their input. It helped strengthen my argument for automatic doors, and we got the bucket seats in the middle row too.
We ended up with the DVD player too, I don't know if you can even get one with out it anymore. We told Ben the rule is we only watch the TV when we are going out of town. he watched it this morning on the ride out the dealership, but when we got back to town he siad, "Mommy, we are in town, time to turn off the TV" Smart little guy!
It will take some getting used to, and we have to "move in" yet, all my CD's and winter gear are just sort of thrown in, but it won't take long before it feels like its ours!

My jeep sold before we even drove the van off the lot too. It was way funny. I was cleaning our stuff out of it and some guy comes up to me and asks how we liked the Jeep and how it ran and stuff like that. He said "I just bought it, so I thought I would ask you how it ran for you" Wow. He must have been another dealer or something. We left it there over the weekend while we were test driving that van, so he must have looked at it then.

And I always tell Jack that the DVD player is broken and it gets fixed when we take longer trips - LOL

I was thinking just this weekend, that I am ready to get a GM model vehicle just for the Onstar peace of mind (especially after Kellie was locked in the car a few weeks ago).

Hillbilly Housewife replied: Nice!! We loved ours. What color is it? Ours was emerald.

Just so you know though, they're a crinkle-car.

Jeepers. Whats the story?

BTW, my sister made those Chai cookies and said that they were awesome, but she didn't know how many the recipie made, so she doubled it, and ended up with tons of cookies. she said it took her an entire morning to bake them.
