The one thing I really hate about my excursion

I was just cleaningAnd conditioning all the leather seats in my excursion and just realized there's one thing that I hate about having an excursion, I love driving it everywhere but when I'm cleaning all the seats and realize how big and comfortable it is I'm never going to be driven around in it I'm always driving does anybody else feel that mayor just me. I sure wish my wife didn't mind driving the ex but she's comfortable in her crv. Oh well guess I'll have to drive it all the time.

Same here. In 2000, about a month after we got the X, I was able to ride in the 3rd row seats and it was a blast. I think I can coerce my brother or daughter into driving, but it's pretty rare.

Every month or so just go back in the 3rd row and sit for awhile and take it all in. That should help. Maybe pop a movie in and make some popcorn.

We did this the day after we bought it!
The 2nd row (captain chairs) made it hard to see the DVD screen.
Was like going back to the old "drive-in movie" days.

Whats better than sitting in the back of my EX... during the summer I went over to a friends house on the West Coast of Florida. He has a 2005 Ex. A group of us loaded up in the Ex to go to dinner...I and another friend (6 ft 5" tall) climbed in the third seat beside me. The kids looked at us weird and said, that's our seat...

I said to them and the owner of the Ex, I own an Ex and know I will not ride in the 3rd seat,so I am riding back here...Everyone laughed and let me ride in the 3rd seat.
