How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Grieving

in Uncategorized on 06/12/09

She was so beautiful.
She was always there when I needed her.
Helped me every day.
She helped me to carry my heavy loads.
Protected my loved ones.
She kept me warm and safe.
Allowed the sun to shine into my life.
She entertained the kids.
Never let me down.
Got me through some turbulent weather.
Safely guided me home.
She never let me get lost.

I miss my gorgeous 7 seater Ford Lincoln Navigator with automatic lift tail gate, heated seats, moon roof, built in entertainment system, 20″ spoke chrome aluminium wheels and GPS.
Sigh.
If you’re going to survive life in the suburbs, a ridiculously small 2 door just won’t do.

**This ridiculous little 2 door sports car is going back..hunt for a new SUV is on!

      About 1 1/2 years ago, the hubs surprised me with a new car (just 2 weeks before our last child was born, in fact!). Don’t get me wrong! I love my car ~~~ it’s a spendy little sporty thing (ahem, with 2 car-seats in the back of course!!)and yet I would give anything for a nice BIG roomy SUV! That Navigator sounds like it would fit the bill PERFECTLY! Would I want to give up my little car? Certainly not. See, I think we need a Navigator as well…..

      Hope your hunt goes well!Rah rah for roomy SUV’s!

      I love my honda pilot!!! I will always own one. I currently have 92,000 miles on it.

      I want at least 150,000

      Mmm…heated seats.

      I have a Buick Rendezvous. It seats five, but I have a spot for third row seat.

      Wish I had heated seats.

      I way prefer to go fast, but I can totally understand the need for comfort and room. I had a Blazer I loved dearly a few years ago but I also like to change lanes without needing a semi to let me in lol.

      I’ll have a moment’s silence for the passing of your car, out of respect for your feelings. It’s the least that I can do.

      Oh dear. You realised your true love after it was gone. Yeah, send the ridiculous car back for a real machine!

      LOL, I’m getting rid of mine! and happily too. I want a SMALLER..let me say again, smaller car, NO TV’s in it either, NO satellite dish (we have direct TV) in our SUV, hunny loves it. I HATE it. I want a SMALL car. NO more SUV’s! I can’t waitttttt!

      OMG! Its fab! And you do feel safe in it. Yup get rid of the 2 door…….

      I had one of those old British mini’s until Olly couldnt fit in it anymore…I miss it but no good with kids.

      Good luck on the hunt RMx

      As someone with an healthy emotional attachment to my precious Saturn (even though it’s a little 2-door), I can totally relate!

      I know it’s a false sense of security, but when I get in my SUV I feel safer and I can see farther than the next guy’s bumper. Of course you can drive farther, cheaper, in a small car. You can also get KNOCKED farther in a small car.
