Our New Purchase

We purchased one of these over the weekend:








It's a Suzuki Grand Vitara. It's a 2006, but it only had 20,000 miles on it and we got a GREAT deal on it. It looks brand new. The only problem is that the seats aren't very comfortable on my high maintenance back, so I'm looking for some kind of lumbar support to help with that problem. I like the new vehicle, but I have always LOVED our Isuzu Trooper so I'm going to have a really hard time parting with it. The Trooper only gets about 14 mpg's though which doesn't make much sense with my commute. It's also an older vehicle with 112,000 miles on it and newer is better, right? The Trooper has a luxury trim level so I'm used to leather/power/heated seats (that are super comfortable) and the Grand Vitara doesn't have that luxury. It has power for everything else though, windows, locks, etc. I'll also miss all the cargo space we have in the Trooper, but I'll get over it. I hope.

Some day when we're rich (haha) and gas prices have gone way down (haha) I'll buy another tricked-out, gas-guzzler SUV that's comfortable.

I can dream, can't I?
