I can't believe I'm finally getting a "family-friendly" car...LOL! I've had my Mustang for 14 years and I love her to pieces, but the bigger Logan gets, the harder it is to get him in and out of the backseat. With his infant seat, it was a pain, but not too bad, because he could just snap in and out of his seat base, but now that he's in a big boy seat and 23 lbs, it's near impossible. Jon doesn't mind loaning me his car once in awhile on the weekends, but he hated driving the 'Stang and without something bigger with a carseat, Logan and I were pretty well trapped unless we could walk to wherever I wanted to go. Which, unless you include the plaza within walking distance, wasn't to very many places.
So today we went back to the Kia dealership where we got the Sorento and have put a deposit on a Sportage! It's slightly smaller than Jon's car, but almost exactly the same in every way. Four wheel drive and everything! It's a cool color called "black cherry"...it looks black, but if the light hits it just right, your can see the tiny flecks of red in it...very sharp! We got a good deal on it, but we just have to wait until Friday to finalize everything (that's the only day where everyone involved's schedule works). I'm happy with the trade-in we got for the Mustang too...right on the money as far as blue book value. Now I have a few more days to say goodbye... ;)
