The Auto Show

A week ago, Mike and I went with the Olsen's and Sanderson's to the auto show. This has become somewhat of a tradition for us, as we have gone the past three years. It is always fun to be able to look at your "dream" cars in a no-pressure environment, plus they usually have some pretty sweet concept cars. This year, Mike and I were especially interested in checking out some of the cars because we have been in a constant debate over what type of car we should get to replace the Yukon. To be honest, we have not even seriously been considering getting a new car, but it something we still talk about. I decided that I want our next SUV to be smaller than the Yukon. I prefer to drive a sedan over an SUV, but since the driving distance to my work is a lot shorter than to Mike's, it makes sense that I drive the car that gets the worst gas mileage. Mike, however, really wants a big manly truck so that he can haul stuff. I don't see the point of us owning a truck, since when do we ever haul anything? Never. Anyway, we had fun looking at all of the cars. I think that we came to the conclusion that if we were to buy another car, we would probably get another Yukon. Yes, it is bigger than what I prefer, but it is a good compromise and they are good vehicles.

It is hard to see, but this picture shows all six of us seated comfortable in the Dodge Ram 2500. We couldn't believe how much room it had! All three guys were even able to sit in the back seat comfortably.

This is a Dodge Charger that Mike thought was pretty sweet. We did look at and like more cars besides the Dodges...I promise!

That cracks me up!! Jake wants a truck to "haul" stuff too!!! "Haul" really!?!! It's funny they all say the same things! We had a Dodge 2500 and it was very roomy, but the Silverado is a much better ride!!!
