We got rid of the gas guzzler and got a Ford Explorer. I feel like such a mom driving this car.
The Tahoe was fun to drive but man did it like to drink the gas. We went camping where I had to pull the boat and at one point I looked down at the instant fuel economy and it said "3 mpg!" After that I decided it was probably time to get something a little more fuel efficient and lower to the ground to get two kids in and out of more easily. We sold the Tahoe to the boyfriend of a girl that works at the daycare. I told her one day that we were thinking about selling it and the next day he came to my office with a check in hand for what we were asking for it. So we really couldn't turn the deal away.
We debated on me driving Colton's truck and him just getting something small to go back and forth to work in. After a month of not having my own vehicle and having to drive his truck my mind was made up, I wanted an SUV again. His truck is so long and hard to park and high off the ground, not the best for a prego with a toddler.
I looked and researched and when we came across this car online I called the dealer and told him if he would sell it for what I offered him I would come right now. He called me back ten minutes later and said "deal." We got a pretty good price for it I have to admit. Whoever the first owner was custom ordered a lot of the stuff so it's by far the fanciest car I've ever driven. To this day though I sit in it and feel overwhelmed! There's so much flippin technology they put in these cars now it's insane.
Korbyn really likes it too. I tried explaining to her that we sold the white car and now we drive this one. She'll still ask me where the white car is. It has the dual sunroof and she is very adamant about having the covers open ALL the time. She doesn't quite understand that it's 103 degrees outside, and in Texas we keep the sun away as much as possible!
Overall I'm extremely happy with it so far and plan to hang on to it for quite some time.
