Yeah, that's what we thought also. I could have gone either way, but not my truck.

The nice thing about buying some thing is that you dont have to look anymore

The light gray interior in my car is really showing the wear and tear from the kids... grrrrr. I've given up having a pristine car until the kids are grown up and have their own cars to trash.

Just wait till the buyer's remorse sets in Pat... then it will be all your fault. We've had ours for six months now, so it's starting to happen here.

Nope, it was her choice, I asked her, must have been 20 times, if that was what she wanted!

Besides, she had her Expedition 10 years, and it was starting to have problems, so she won't have a problem with the new one!

I don't think we've ever kept a vehicle that long Pat... 3 years seems to be the longest. It might help if we didn't put 30,000 miles on a vehicle in a year's time.

I plan on keeping Black at least 12 years, just to justify the cost.

I really wanted to keep the Five Hundred... I wanted to see if I could hit 200K.

Around 120,000. It would probably be at 150,000 by now. Should have kept it, but the wife was worried that the transmission was shifting hard when it was cold. So now we have a 2011 Milan with a transmission that is acting funny, go figure. But, we do have the extended warranty on it.

I've told the wife she has to go easier on this truck. Luckily, her office is moving closer, only 3 miles from the house, so she won't have as much time to beat on the truck on the way to work!

LOL too funny Pat. I wish I could get my wife to treat her car as good as she treats her crappy Pontiac G6 government car... She always makes sure that one gets serviced and washed.

I've told her, no more Fantasy's car wash, the guys that dry just wipe off the dirt that didn't come off in the wash, and it just wastes a paint job. We'll also see how long her "No eating in the car" last.
